Hawk is helping you =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hawk I got 0.083

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sothe reasoning for this is that $2.49 is the price for 30 ounces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so dividing 30 into $2.49 will get the price of 1 ounce. understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now you have to find the price for one ounce of choice B and compare it with choice A. So any ideas how to find the price of one ounce of choice B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.. we have to divide 40 into 3.32 ! :) @HawkCrimson

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HawkCrimson u left me :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and pefect!!!! what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.04819277

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's $3.32 / 40 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not 40 / $3.32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh lol! I got 0.083

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is that both units are the same! yay thanks for your help :)
