Question

Mrs. Ross needs to buy dish soap there are four different sized containers sort the brands from least to greatest unit price round each unit price to the nearest thousandth

Answer 1

Given that 8 oz of Lots of suds cost = $0.98

Then unit price of 1 lot of suds = 0.98/8 = $0.1225

Given that 12 oz of Bright wash cost = $1.29

Then unit price of 1 Bright wash = 1.29/12 = $0.1075

Given that 30 oz of Spotless soap cost = $3.14

Then unit price of 1 Spotless soap = 3.14/30 = $0.104666666667

Given that 32 oz of Lemon bright cost = $3.50

Then unit price of 1 Lemon bright = 3.50/32 = $0.109375

We also need to round the values to the nearest thousandth means three digits after decimal

Then unit price of 1 lot of suds = $0.123

unit price of 1 Bright wash = $0.108

unit price of 1 Spotless soap = $0.105

unit price of 1 Lemon bright = $0.109

Now we can easily sort them

0.105 < 0.108 < 0.109 < 0.123

respective names in sorted order are:

Spotless soap < Bright wash < Lemon bright < lot of suds

Hence final answer is :

Spotless soap < Bright wash < Lemon bright < lot of suds
