This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
I think option two is the correct one, because 1 and two contradict eachother and 4 doesn't make sense
The correct question is
<span>Peyton is a sprinter who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds. He converts his speed into miles per hour, as shown below

"Feet"<span> needs to be on the bottom to cancel with the previous term.
</span>"Mile"<span> needs to be on top in the numerator so that the answer can be expressed in "miles per hour"
</span>
the correct term is (1 mi/5280 ft)
