The unit price for each size of ice cream can be calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of ounces.
For the 48-ounce container:
Unit price = $4.50 / 48 ounces = $0.094 per ounce
For the 128-ounce container:
Unit price = $7 / 128 ounces = $0.055 per ounce
For the 64-ounce container:
Unit price = $3 / 64 ounces = $0.047 per ounce
Therefore, the 64-ounce container has the lower unit price.
