Answer:
Given : Two sizes in pints and quartz i.e,
If 16 pint (oz) price 3.89 and 32 quartz (oz) price 5.89
Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 5 feet per second or 2 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
To find the unit rate nearest cent per ounce for each size.
As per the given condition;
16 oz cost price 3.89
1 oz = [tex]\frac{3.89}{16}=0.243125 \apprx 0.25[/tex] price
Unit rate to the nearest cent per ounces is; [tex]\frac{0.25}{1 oz} =0.25[/tex] per ounces.
Similarly for,
32 oz cost price 5.89
then,
1 oz = [tex]\frac{5.98}{32} =0.186875 \approx 0.19[/tex] per ounces.
Unit rate to the nearest cent per ounces = [tex]\frac{0.19}{1 oz} = 0.19[/tex] per ounces.
therefore, the unit rate to the nearest cent per ounce for each size is; 0.25 : 0.19
