Answer:
a. $0.47 per ounce
b. $0.36 per ounce
c. the gallon size costs less per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.

<h3>a.</h3>
Unit cost for a quart:
ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Unit cost for a gallon:
ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz
__
<h3>c.</h3>
The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.
If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.
Answer:
400
Step-by-step explanation: 2x200=400
It is not because 30×10^4 is 300,000.
The answer would then be...
30×10^5
Hope this helps!
