Question

Miranda is buying yarn so she can crochet scarves for her family. She likes the Furry Fibers brand best. At the store, she finds a 7-ounce roll of Furry Fibers yarn for $8.33 and a 16-ounce roll for $18.72. Which size roll is the better value?

Answer 1

The 16 ounce roll because 18.72 divided by 16 is 1.17 (the cost per roll in a 16 ounce) and 8.33 divide divide by 7 is 1.19 (the cost per roll in a 7 ounce)
