comparitavely speaking...

let's say we have a rook + minor piece + two pawns + king vs. king + minor piece + rook plus two pawns
assume that no pawns are passed or connected or anything special...
just a typical endgame...
i'm not asking which side wins, because it is in fact a draw (depending on piece position, of course)
but let's say one side had a slight advantage, perhaps their pawns were connected, and one were passed...
with the scale pawn= 1, minor piece = 3. rook = 5...
relatively how much is a king worth in such endgame positions where one side does have an advantage such as a passed connected pawn, where material is still equal...?

When mating attacks aren't in the offing it's said a King is worth more than a minor piece and less than a rook. Some have suggested a nice round 4.
