Answer 2

To find out which size has the lower unit price, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each size.

For the 48-ounce size: 4.50 / 48 = $0.09375 per ounce
For the 128-ounce size: 7 / 128 = $0.0546875 per ounce
For the 64-ounce size: 3 / 64 = $0.046875 per ounce

Comparing the prices per ounce, we can see that the 64-ounce size has the lowest unit price of $0.046875 per ounce. Therefore, the correct answer is:

64 ounces

Answer 3

To determine which size has the lower unit price, we need to calculate the cost per ounce for each size.

For the 48-ounce size:
Cost per ounce = $4.50 / 48 ounces = $0.09375 per ounce

For the 128-ounce size:
Cost per ounce = $7 / 128 ounces = $0.0546875 per ounce

For the 64-ounce size:
Cost per ounce = $3 / 64 ounces = $0.046875 per ounce

Comparing the cost per ounce for each size, we can see that the 64-ounce size has the lowest unit price of $0.046875 per ounce. Therefore, the correct answer is "64 ounces."
