How can you use rate to compare the costs of two boxes of cereal that are different sizes?
Find out the cost per ounce.
Divide the cost of the box by the number of ounces.
every cereal box has gift inside
Unit pricing. It is probably listed on the shelf but you can do it yourself anyway.
Both boxes will have the mass of cereal contained in each. Say box A is 1 kilogram and box B is 2 kilograms
Say box A costs 1 dollar and box B costs 1.50 dollars
then
Box A costs 1 dollar per kilogram and box B costs 1.50/2 = 0.75 dollars per kilogram
Obviously box B costs less per kilogram.

To compare the costs of two boxes of cereal that are different sizes, you can use a rate called "cost per unit." Here's how you can do it:
1. Determine the cost and size of each box of cereal:
- Let's say box A costs $4 and has a size of 500g.
- Box B costs $6 and has a size of 750g.
2. Calculate the rate of each box:
- For box A: Divide the cost by the size. $4/500g = $0.008/g.
- For box B: Divide the cost by the size. $6/750g = $0.008/g.
3. Compare the rates:
- The rate for box A is $0.008/g.
- The rate for box B is $0.008/g.
4. Analyze the rates:
- As both boxes have the same rate of $0.008/g, we can conclude that the cost per gram (unit) of both boxes is the same.
Therefore, in this case, based on the cost per unit, box A and box B have the same price.
