Performance Target Examples: On a bicycle you can travel 20 miles in 4 hours. What are the unit rates in this situation, (the distance you can travel in 1 hour and the amount of time required to travel 1 mile)? Solution: You can travel 5 miles in 1 hour written as and it takes of a hour to travel each mile written as . Students can represent the relationship between 20 miles and 4 hours. A simple modeling clay recipe calls for 1 cup corn starch, 2 cups salt, and 2 cups boiling water. How many cups of corn starch are needed to mix with each cup of salt?
