Answer 1

To find the lower unit price, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each size of ice cream.

For the 48-ounce size:
Price per ounce = $4.50 / 48 = $0.09375

For the 128-ounce size:
Price per ounce = $7 / 128 = $0.0546875

For the 64-ounce size:
Price per ounce = $3 / 64 = $0.046875

Comparing the prices per ounce, we can see that the 64-ounce size has the lowest unit price.

Answer 2

To determine which size has the lower unit price, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each size.

For the first option, we have 48 ounces for $4.50. Divide the total price by the number of ounces: $4.50 divided by 48 ounces = $0.09375 per ounce.

For the second option, we have 128 ounces for $7. Divide the total price by the number of ounces: $7 divided by 128 ounces = $0.05469 per ounce.

For the third option, we have 64 ounces for $3. Divide the total price by the number of ounces: $3 divided by 64 ounces = $0.04687 per ounce.

Comparing the prices per ounce, we can see that the third option has the lowest unit price at $0.04687 per ounce. Therefore, the 64-ounce size has the lower unit price.
