复合单位

Description

Use compound units such as speed (distance ÷ time), unit pricing (cost ÷ quantity), and density (mass ÷ volume); solve problems involving compound units

Mastery Evidence
  • Calculate average speed given distance and time, converting between km/h and m/s if needed
  • Compare unit prices of two products sold in different quantities to find the better deal
  • Use the density formula to find mass, volume, or density given the other two values
Assessment Prompt

If a car travels 150 miles in 2.5 hours, can your child work out its average speed — and use the same idea to solve problems about price per kilogram or density of a material?
