Question

Notebooks are priced 3.20 for 4 notebooks Pencils are priced 4.80 for 12 pencils, write a rate

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.80 per notebook

$0.40 per pencil

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate, we need to determine how much each item costs. That is, the cost per item.

Given that,

4 notebooks = $3.20

The cost of 1 notebook/rate = $\frac{3.20}{4} = 0.80$

Rate = $0.80 per notebook

Given that,

12 pencils = $4.80

The cost of 1 notebook/rate = $\frac{4.80}{12} = 0.40$

Rate = $0.40 per pencil.
