a unit rate is a mathematical term refering to how much or how many to a unit of 1. that was kind of confusing so let me give you an example. if you drove a total of 55 miles in 2 hours. the unit rate would be how many miles you drove in 1 hour, or 1 minute depending on the question.

EXP: your on vacation and your family drove 55 miles in to hours. how many miles did you drive in 1 hour.

55 divided by 2 = 27.5
2 divided by 2 = 1 unit rate = 27.5 over 1

divide by the denominator

What are examples that are not unit rate?

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
