Compound events may be described as events whose occurence has more than one possible outcome, that is the number of possible events is more than one. From the options given above, Rolling 3 on a die, this event has only one possible outcome, which is rolling 3 ; tossing a coin and getting tails also has one obe possible outcome.

Write each rate as a unit rate. $2 for 5 cans of soup.

Len [333]

If you would like to write each rate as a unit rate, you can do this using the following steps:

$2 ... 5 cans of a soup
$1 ... x cans of a soup = ?

2 * x = 5 * 1
2 * x = 5
x = 5 / 2
x = 2.5 cans of a soup per $1

$2 ... 5 cans of a soup
$x = ? ... 1 can of a soup

2 * 1 = 5 * x
2 = 5 * x
x = 2 / 5
x = $0.4 per 1 can of a soup
