I agree -- Oobleck is fantastic!!
For your problem -- divide the cost by the size to find the cost per ounce.
Thanks Ms Sue your so smart.
To find the unit rate for each size of orange juice, we need to divide the cost of each size by its corresponding number of ounces.
Size A:
The 8 1/2-ounce bottle costs $0.99.
To find the unit rate, we divide the cost by the number of ounces:
$0.99 / 8.5 ounces ≈ $0.12 per ounce (rounded to the nearest cent).
Size B:
The 18 2/3-ounce bottle costs $1.49.
To find the unit rate, we divide the cost by the number of ounces:
$1.49 / 18.6667 ounces (rounded to four decimal places) ≈ $0.08 per ounce (rounded to the nearest cent).
Size C:
The 48 1/4-ounce carton costs $2.49.
To find the unit rate, we divide the cost by the number of ounces:
$2.49 / 48.25 ounces ≈ $0.05 per ounce (rounded to the nearest cent).
Therefore, the unit rate for each size of orange juice, to the nearest cent, is:
Size A: $0.12 per ounce
Size B: $0.08 per ounce
Size C: $0.05 per ounce
