Morgan's favorite spaghetti sauce is available in two sizes:pints and quarts. pint 16 (oz) price 3.89 quart 32 5.98

what is the unit rate to the nearest cent per ounce for each size?



Answer :

If 16oz cost 3.89, then 1 oz costs 3.89 ÷ 16 = 0.243125 ≈ 0.24
If 32oz cost 5.98, then 1 oz costs 5.98 ÷ 32 = 0.186875 ≈ 0.19

So the unit rate for the nearest cent per ounce for each size is 0.24 : 0.19.

Answer:

Given : Two sizes in pints and quartz i.e,

If 16 pint (oz) price 3.89 and 32 quartz (oz) price 5.89

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 5 feet per second or 2 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

To find the unit rate nearest cent per ounce for each size.

As per the given condition;

16 oz cost price 3.89

1 oz = [tex]\frac{3.89}{16}=0.243125 \apprx 0.25[/tex] price

Unit rate to the nearest cent per ounces is; [tex]\frac{0.25}{1 oz} =0.25[/tex] per ounces.

Similarly for,

32 oz cost  price 5.89

then,

1 oz = [tex]\frac{5.98}{32} =0.186875 \approx 0.19[/tex] per ounces.

Unit rate to the nearest cent per ounces = [tex]\frac{0.19}{1 oz} = 0.19[/tex] per ounces.

therefore, the unit rate to the nearest cent per ounce for each size is; 0.25 : 0.19
