Question

Find the unit price: 12 eggs for $3. How much is the cost per (one) egg?.

Answer 1

it's 3 dollars per 12 eggs so 3/12

simplify 3/12 by dividing both numbers by 3 so you get 1/4

you should know what 1/4 of a dollar is

or think of it this way 12 eggs are 3 dollars so every 4 eggs is one dollar. divide 1 dollar by 4 eggs
