Consider the complete question is "A store has two different sizes of ice cream on sale this week. The smaller container costs $3.87 for 48 ounces. The larger container costs $6.42 for 128 ounces. which ice cream costs less per ounce?"
Given:
The smaller container costs $3.87 for 48 ounces.
The larger container costs $6.42 for 128 ounces.
To find:
Which ice cream costs less per ounce?
Solution:
We know that
Using this formula, we get
Per ounce cost of small container
Per ounce cost of larger container
Since, 0.08 > 0.05 therefore, the per ounce cost of larger container is less.
We can simplify the expression by using exponent properties, and we will see that the correct option is the fourth option.
<h3>How to simplify the expression?</h3>Remember the exponent property:
Here we have the expression:
We can reorder this to get:
The right side can be simplified to:
Now, we can move the decimal point one time to the left and increase the exponent by one, so we get:
Then we conclude that the correct option is the last one (where I rounded the expression to only 3 values after the decimal point).
