Step-by-step explanation:

to compare them, we should all bring to the same denominator.

the lcm (lowest common multiplier) is the that denominator.

let's use the approach of the prime factors :

3 : 3

5 : 5

32 : 2×2×2×2×2

24 : 2×2×2×3

the lcm is the combination of the longest "streaks" of the prime factors.

so,

2×2×2×2×2 × 3 × 5 = 32×15 = 480

2/-3 = -2/3 = -320/480 (as 3×160 = 480)

-4/5 = -4×96 / 5×96 = -384/480 (as 5×96 = 480)

21/-32 = -21/32 = -315/480 (as 32×15 = 480)

-15/24 = -15×20 / 24×20 = -300/480 (24×20 = 480)

as

-384/480 < -320/480 < -315/480 < -300/480

we can say

-4/5 < -2/3 < -21/32 < -15/24

tester [92]

Answer:

The loose sweets at ?0.89 for 100 g.


Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the price per gram. You do this by dividing the price by the grams.

?1.49 / 120 g =  1.49 / 120 = 0.0124 (4 dp)

Because the answer was very long, I have rounded it to 4 decimal places (4 dp).

?0.89 / 100 g = 0.89 / 100 = 0.0089

Next, you must calculate both pre-packed and loose sweets to the same weight. I am calculating them both to 100 g.

0.0124 x 100 = 1.24

0.0089 x 100 = 0.89

Finally, the cheapest product for 100 g will be the better value. In this case, it is the loose sweets.
