WILL FAN AND MEDAL Which unit rate is the lowest price per ounce? Choice A: 5 ounces of raisins for $1.49 Choice B: 12 ounces of raisins for $3.59 Choice A Choice B The unit rates are equal. The unit rates cannot be determined.

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

so the question is asking for price per ounce so you divide the price by the ounce for each given deal. Whatever the lowest answer is, that will be the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide each amount of money by the ounces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you not know how to divide them?

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.59/12=

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

carry the decimals out, dont round them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide them like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't do the ounces divided by the amount of money

OpenStudy (chrispaul03):

OpenStudy (chrispaul03):

OpenStudy (kyleighg):

therefore, the first one has a slightly smaller unit rate.
