Answer 1

Answer:

Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice A)  5 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Cost of 5 ounces = $1.49

Cost of  1 ounce = $\frac{1.49}{5}$

                           = $0.298$  

So, unit rate of choice A is $0.298

Choice B)  12 ounces of raisins for $3.69

Cost of 12 ounces of raisins = $3.69

Cost of 1 ounce of raisins = $\frac{3.69}{12}$

                                          = $0.3075$

So, unit rate of choice B is $0.307

Thus unit rate of choice A is the lowest price per ounce

Hence Choice A is the answer.

Answer 2

1.49/6 = 0.248 per oz
3.59/13 = 0.276 per oz

lowest price is A. 6 oz for 1.49
