Samantha buys a two-quart bottle of juice for $10.24. What is the unit rate of the cost of the juice per fluid ounce?Before you try that problem, answer the question below.
How many fluid ounces of juice did Samantha buy?
Samantha bought 32 fluid ounces of juice.
The unit rate of the cost of the juice per fluid ounce is $0.32 per fluid ounce.
To find the unit rate of the cost of the juice per fluid ounce, we first need to determine the number of fluid ounces in a two-quart bottle of juice.
To do this, we need to know the conversion rate between quarts and fluid ounces.
1 quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces.
So, a two-quart bottle of juice would contain 2 * 32 = 64 fluid ounces.
Now that we know the number of fluid ounces in the bottle, we can calculate the unit rate.
The cost of the juice per fluid ounce is $10.24 divided by 64 fluid ounces.
Unit Rate = Cost of Juice / Number of Fluid Ounces
Unit Rate = $10.24 / 64 fluid ounces
Using a calculator, we can find that the unit rate is $0.16 per fluid ounce.
To find out the number of fluid ounces of juice Samantha bought, we need to convert the given quantity from quarts to fluid ounces.
1 quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces. Therefore, to convert from quarts to fluid ounces, we need to multiply the number of quarts by 32.
Samantha bought a two-quart bottle of juice, so we need to multiply 2 by 32:
2 quarts * 32 fluid ounces/quart = 64 fluid ounces.
Therefore, Samantha bought 64 fluid ounces of juice.
