A 16 oz package of brown rice costs 79 cents and 32 oz package of white rice costs $3.49. Which package is a better buy

Answer 2

So, first you would have to make a proportion. Make a fraction with 79 cents on the top and 16oz at the bottom. divide both numbers by 16 oz. The numerator would be your answer. Then, make a fraction with 3.49 at the top and 32 oz at the bottom. Divide both by 32. The numerator is the answer. Compare both numerator. The smaller one is the better buy.
