Answer 2

Answer:

Choice A  is the lowest price per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice A: 5 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Cost of 5 ounces of raisins = $1.49

Cost of 1 ounce of raisins = $\frac{1.49}{5}$

                                         = $0.298$

Unit rate =$ 0.298

Choice B: 12 ounces of raisins for $3.59

Cost of 12 ounces of raisins = $3.59

Cost of 1 ounce of raisins = $\frac{3.59}{12}$

                                         = $0.299$

Unit rate =$0.299

Hence  Choice A  is the lowest price per ounce
