How can you use a rate to compare the costs of two boxes of cereal that are different sizes?

1 answer:

6 0

If you are given a unit rate (ex: $0.59 per ounce) then you can multiple this by the weight of the cereal to find the cost of the entire box. Do this for both boxes, and then compare the costs.

Hope this helps. I'm not sure that I'm on the right path, but I can help you further if you provide more details.

Good luck!

<h3>Answer: 3.1691, 5.8, 5.802, 5.82</h3>

Explanation:

The smallest item is 3.1691 which is listed first. This is because 3 is smaller than 5.

Now to sort the values that start with 5.

Think of 5.82 as 5.820; think of 5.8 as 5.800

We can see that 820 is larger than 800, which means 5.820 is larger than 5.800; in short, 5.82 > 5.8

Through similar logic, we can see that 5.82 > 5.802 and it further means 5.82 is the largest item. The next largest is 5.802

The sub-list {5.802, 5.82, 5.8} sorts to {5.8, 5.802, 5.82}. These values are then written after the 3.1691 mentioned. This will produce the fully sorted list from smallest to largest.
