7.RP.1 – Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction ^1/2/_1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.
