the unit rate is the price of a single unit of whatever is being sold.
they're telling you the unit is price per ounce, you have to simplify the  fractions

$A:\dfrac{$2.49}{30oz}\vs.\B:\dfrac{$3.32}{40oz}$

ok your looking for the lowest price for each ounce. ok heres what to think ..you pay $2.49 for 30 ounces ....then your paying $3.32 for 40 ounces ...so ur finding the lowest price ..what looks like the lowest price ? it would be A cause you are paying less for less ounces and B is just paying more to get more so ur answer is A
