To find the unit rate, you need to divide the cost by the quantity.
For the first question, the cost of the 18 1/2-fluid ounces bottle of water is $3.79. To find the unit rate, divide the cost by the quantity:
Unit rate = $3.79 / 18.5 fluid ounces
Now, perform the division:
Unit rate = $3.79 / 18.5 = $0.205 per fluid ounce
Round this to the nearest cent:
Unit rate = $0.21 per fluid ounce
So, the unit rate for the 18 1/2-fluid ounces bottle of water is $0.21 per fluid ounce.
For the second question, the cost of the 3 2/5-pound bag of yarn is $5.25. To find the unit rate, divide the cost by the quantity:
Unit rate = $5.25 / 3.4 pounds
Now, perform the division:
Unit rate = $5.25 / 3.4 = $1.544 per pound
Round this to the nearest cent:
Unit rate = $1.54 per pound
So, the unit rate for the 3 2/5-pound bag of yarn is $1.54 per pound.
