If you can buy 35 gumballs for $5.95, what is the per unit rate? (just put the answer in cents per gumball, all you put is the number) *

@Angle

Angle:

The unit price will always have the price in the numerator and the unit in the denominator this means we want 5.95 in the numerator of the fraction and 35 in the denominator of the fraction

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @lilcutie2 ok I still need help \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) you just have to divide!

AZ:

we want the denominator to be 1 since they want us to find the unit rate of how many cents it costs for 1 gumball so they told us how it costs 5.95 dollars for 35 gumballs ?? for 1 gumball all you have to do is divide 5.95 by 35

AZ:

\(\dfrac{5.95}{35} = ?\)
