To compare the unit cups of apple juice per serving

Solution:

Using unitary method to find the unit prices:

For Rachel 12 servings contain 4.5 cups of apple juice.

∴ 1 serving would contain = $\frac{4.5}{12}=0.375$ cup of apple juice

∴ Per serve content of apple juice = 0.375 of cup

For Andy 10 servings contain 4.75 cups of apple juice.

∴ 1 serving would contain = $\frac{4.75}{10}=0.475$ cup of apple juice

∴ Per serve content of apple juice = 0.475 of cup

Difference in unit cups per serve of apple juice for Andy and Rachel = $0.475-0.375=0.1$

On comparing the the unit cups of apple juice per serve for Andy and Rachel we see that unit cup per serve for Andy is more than Rachel by 0.1 of a cup of apple juice.
