Question

An 8 ounce cup of gourmet coffee costs 4:50. If the unit price remains the same, how much would 3 quarts of coffee cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$54 would 3 quarts of coffee cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity as 1 such that 3 miles per hour or 5 meter per second.

Use the conversion:

1 ounce = 0.03125 quarts.

As per the statement:  An 8 ounce cup of gourmet coffee costs $ 4.50.

Convert 8 ounces in quarts.

1 ounces = 0.03125 quarts

8 ounces = 0.25 quarts.

$\text{Unit rate per quartz} = \frac{4.50}{0.25} = \ 18$

We have to find the cost for 3 quarts of coffee.

$\text{Total cost} = \text{Unit rate per quarts} \times 3$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\text{Total Cost} = 18 \times 3 = \ 54$

Therefore, $54 would 3 quarts of coffee cost.
