pecans: 1 lb for $4.80 2 oz for $1.00 better buy why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want the price per ounce which means \[\frac{\text{ price }}{\text {ounce}}\] or \[\text {price}\div \text{ounce}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so compare the numbers \[4.80\div 16\] and \[1.00\div 2\] and see which is the smallest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are sixteen ounces in a pound, not ten

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right sorry,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO WAIT A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuz that is 0.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4.80\div 16=.30\] so that one is 30 cents an ounce \[1.00\div 2=.50\] so that one is 50 cents an ounce

OpenStudy (anonymous):
