You would do the same thing as before....we would divide the total by the number of cans...
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
divide each one (price over number) to see how much each is worth. the one worth the least each is your answer
563blackghost (563blackghost):
\[10.88 \div 7 = ?\]\[11.55 \div=? \]\[17.25 \div 9 = ?\]\[15.31 \div 8 = ?\]
This will get you the unit rate...
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
you messed up the second one*

@meeep
563blackghost (563blackghost):
@meeep you are dividing wrong...you are doing...\[7 \div 10.88\]but you are suppose to divide\[10.88 \div 7\]
