Answer:

The Jar of peanut butter

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to calculate price per ounce of each unit.

We'll assign the 12 ounce jar to the variable s and the bulk to the variable b.

First create an equation to find the values of each product per ounce.

Since the 12 ounce jar(s) sells for 3.96 we can say it is 3.96 for every 12 ounces, or s = 3.96/12oz.

Simplify this equation and you get s = 0.33 per ounce.

For b we need to convert pounds to ounces.

There are 16 ounces per pound so the equation we get is:

b = 5.50/16oz

Simplified we get:

b =  about 0.34/oz

The smaller jar has a rate of $0.33/oz

The bulk has a rate of $0.34/oz

This means the answer is b. The jar of peanut butter has a cheaper unit rate.

On Saturday, the Gomez family left home to a resort in Maine. The drove at an average rate of 48 mph. ON Thursday they went back
tankabanditka [31]
If we set the unknown distance (in miles) as x, then we set up an equation according to the data, we can solve for x.

Time taken to go to resort : x/48
Time taken to return : x/40
Total time = x/48+x/40 = 11
Solve for x
common multiple between 48 and 40 = 240
so 
5x/240 + 6x/240 = 11
(5x+6x)/240 = 11
11x  = 11*240, => x=240
Distance from home to resort is 240 miles
