Answer 1

If 10lb of crawfish needs 24oz of seasoning, then 1lb of crawfish needs 2.4oz of seasoning. All you have to do is times everything on the left by 2.4.

Answer 2

I did :) But are they correct?

Answer 3

Your answers are correct.

Answer 7

correct

Answer 8

4. What is the unit rate and what does this number mean.

My answer: ???
I'm unsure what this question means, the unit rate of what?

Answer 9

Yes for 30 lbs he will need exactly 72 oz of seasoning because 36x2= 72

Answer 10

The unit for the seasoning is oz and for crawfish is lbs

Answer 11

The unit rate is the ratio of two measurements when the second item is 1. So, the unit rate here is 24oz for every 10lb, so it's 2.4 oz per lb.

Answer 12

It means that he would need exactly 72 oz of seasoning for every 30 lbs of crawfish

Answer 13

Okay, so that would be my answer then? The unit rate is 24oz for every 10lb, so it's 2.4 oz per lb. @awn786

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

Oh okay, thank you so much! :) @awn786
