Answer 1

Answer:

$7.99 for 1/2 pounds cost less per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The unit rate is equal to divide the total cost by the total weight

step 1

Find out the unit rate of the first package

$11.25 for 2/3 pounds

The unit rate is

$11.25:\frac{2}{3}=\frac{33.75}{2}=\ 16.875\ per\ pound$

step 2

Find out the unit rate of the first package

$7.99 for 1/2 pounds

The unit rate is

$7.99:\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15.98}{1}=\ 15.98\ per\ pound$

therefore

The second package cost less per pound
