2. The farmer's market is selling apples today at a price of 6 for $8.40.
A. What is the unit rate for each apple? Show your work.
B. Emma needs to buy 26 apples for the apple butter. How much will 26 apples cost at the farmer's market? Explain your reasoning.
A. The unit rate for each apple is $1.40. To calculate this, divide the total cost of 8.40 by the number of apples (6): 8.40/6 = 1.40.
B. 26 apples will cost $35.60. To calculate this, multiply the unit rate of 1.40 by the number of apples (26): 1.40 x 26 = 35.60.
one small problem with your robot generated answer:
26($1.40) = $36.40 , not 35.60
A. To find the unit rate for each apple, we divide the total price by the number of apples.
The price for 6 apples is $8.40.
$8.40 ÷ 6 = $1.40
Therefore, the unit rate for each apple is $1.40.
B. Since the unit rate for each apple is $1.40, we can find the cost of 26 apples by multiplying the unit rate by the number of apples.
$1.40 x 26 = $36.40
Therefore, 26 apples will cost $36.40 at the farmer's market.
A. To find the unit rate for each apple, we need to divide the total price by the number of apples. In this case, we have 6 apples for $8.40. So the unit rate will be the cost divided by the quantity:
Unit rate = Total cost / Number of apples
Unit rate = $8.40 / 6
Unit rate = $1.40
Therefore, the unit rate for each apple is $1.40.
B. Since we know that the unit rate for each apple is $1.40, we can use this information to find out the total cost of buying 26 apples. To do this, we need to multiply the unit rate by the number of apples:
Total cost = Unit rate * Number of apples
Total cost = $1.40 * 26
Total cost = $36.40
Therefore, buying 26 apples at the farmer's market will cost $36.40.
