Answer:

  a. $0.47 per ounce

  b. $0.36 per ounce

  c. the gallon size costs less per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.

__

<h3>a.</h3>

Unit cost for a quart:

  ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz

__

<h3>b.</h3>

Unit cost for a gallon:

  ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz

__

<h3>c.</h3>

The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.

If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.

Miguel plots points A, B, and C in the coordinate plane.
serg [7]

Answer:

part a: 5

part b: no, ABC is not an equilateral triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

part a: if you do the distance formula for points A and B, you get 5

part b: using the distance formula again, points A to B and points A to C are both 5, but points B to C is 6, therefore it's not equilateral because all the sides have to be the same length
