Hi

Answer 3

Answer 4

Okay, let's figure this out together, shall we?

We have two different products:
FAVORITE beef dog food

and

DELIGHT beef dog food.

Answer 5

Favorite beef dog food

Each can holds 14.5 oz

And 4 cans cost $1.00

Answer 6

For Delight beef dog food

Each can holds 12 oz

And 3 cans cost $0.58

Answer 7

so would you divided them

Answer 8

Following along so far?

Answer 9

and yes

Answer 10

Before we can divide them, we have to find the total amount!!

The cans are not the same size. We want to find which dog food gives us MORE food for LESS money

So for $1.00 we get 4 cans and each can is 14.5 oz

So for $1.00 how much food are we getting?

What is 4 * 14.5 =

Answer 12

58oz

Answer 13

Good! So for the Favorite one, we get a total of 58 oz for $1.00

Answer 14

Similarly for delight

We buy 3 cans for $0.58
and each can is 12 oz

What is 3 * 12 =

Answer 15

36oz for 0.58 cents

Answer 16

so then after would you divide them

Answer 17

Good!!

Now we have

Beautiful is 58 oz for $1.00
Delight is 36 oz for $0.58

Now we can divide. The first one already gives us the price for how much we get with 1 dollar.
But for the second one, if you divide by 0.58, we'll find out how much food we get with 1 dollar

What is 36/0.58 =

Answer 18

Yes!

Answer 19

62.06

Answer 20

or is it just 62

Answer 21

62.06 is fine! It's good to keep a few decimals just in case :)

Answer 22

So now we have

Beautiful is 58 oz for $1.00
Delight is 62.06 oz for $1.00

Which one is the better deal?
Which dog food do you get more food for less money?

Answer 23

the delight one

Answer 24

And that's your answer!
