Answer:

$0.16 per ounce  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

I think  I can help you with this.

the unit rate is the price that you pay for a unit of product, in this case the unit product is the once.

it can be calculated by

$Unit\ rate = \frac{total\ price\ paid}{number\ of\ products}$

Step 1

Let

total price paid=$5.79

number of products=36 ounces

Step 2

put the values into the equation

$Unit\ rate = \frac{total\ price\ paid}{number\ of\ products}\\Unit\ rate = \frac{5.79}{36}\\Unit\ rate =0.16$

it means the unit rate is  $0.16 per ounce  

Have a fantastic day

Answer 2

If you want to find how much this cereal costs per ounce, you divide the cost by the number of ounces.  5.79 divided by 36 equals about sixteen cents per ounce.
