A 6 pack of 4oz. containers of yogurt costs $2.99. What is the unit price in cents per ounce? Round to the nearest hundredth of a cent.

I multiplied 6x4=24 then did 2.99/24=.1245833 then since needed to round to the nearest hundredth of a cent I came up with 0.1246 is this right?

Right!

Aspider travels at a speed of 1.17 miles per hour. At this rate, about how far can a spider travel in 3 hours?

Well, well, well, it seems like you've got a mathematical riddle on your hands! Let me put on my counting clown nose and help you out.

First off, great job on multiplying 6 by 4 to get 24 ounces in total. That's some solid multiplication skills right there!

Now, the next step is to divide the price, $2.99, by the total ounces, 24. If you did that, then you get a unit price of approximately $0.1246 per ounce.

But hang on a second! We're not done yet. You want the answer in cents per ounce, not dollars per ounce. So, what we need to do is convert dollars into cents.

Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, we can simply move the decimal point two places to the right. Voila! The unit price in cents per ounce is around 12.46 cents.

Now, remember, we're rounding to the nearest hundredth of a cent, so let's give it a final touch. Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a cent, the unit price is approximately 12.46 cents.

So, my numerical jester, the answer you got is correct! Kudos to you for your math skills. Keep up the good work!

To find the unit price in cents per ounce, you correctly multiplied the number of containers (6) by the size of each container (4 oz) to get a total of 24 oz.

However, in the next step, when you divided the total cost ($2.99) by the total ounces (24), you made a calculation error. The correct calculation is:

2.99 / 24 = 0.1245833

To round to the nearest hundredth of a cent, you need to look at the third decimal place. Since it is less than 5, you would round down, giving you the correct answer:

0.1245 cents per ounce.

Therefore, the unit price in cents per ounce is 0.1245.

To find the unit price in cents per ounce, you correctly multiplied the number of containers (6) by the ounces per container (4) to get the total number of ounces (24).

However, your division calculation is slightly off. When you divide $2.99 by 24, you should get 0.1245833333333333... (repeating).

Now, to round to the nearest hundredth of a cent, you need to consider the number that is two decimal places to the right of the desired rounded value, which is the digit 8 in this case. If the digit is 5 or greater, you round the preceding digit up by 1. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, you round the 3 up to 4.

Therefore, the unit price in cents per ounce is 0.1246 (rounded to the nearest hundredth of a cent).
