standard_description: Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)

$$3$$
feet of Fruit-by-the-Foot, how many feet of Fruit-by-the-Foot will each friend receive?
b.   If he has
$$1$$
foot of Fruit-by-the-Foot, how many feet of Fruit-by-the-Foot will each friend receive?
c.   If he has
$${1\over2}$$
foot of Fruit-by-the-Foot, how many feet of Fruit-by-the-Foot will each friend receive?
d.   If he has
$${1\over3}$$
foot of Fruit-by-the-Foot, how many feet of Fruit-by-the-Foot will each friend receive?
