Question

Decide whether the rates are equivalent.

Answer 1

Yes, the rates are equivalent

Answer 2

The rates are equivalent because 1 pound is 16 ounces, therefore 4 pounds are 64 ounces, this means that the value of 64 ounces is $16, now we should divide both (64 and 16) by 16 which will give us a value of $1 for every 4 ounces.
