Question

Miss Garcia's Sandwich shop sells a 6 inch sandwich for $3.00 and a 12 inch sandwich for $4.80. Keisha wants to compare the unit rates to determine which sandwich is the better deal which statement correctly compares the unit rates

Answer 1

A 12-inch sandwich is the better deal because it costs $0.40 per inch, and the 6-inch sandwich costs $0.50 per inch.

Answer 2

Answer : The second deal is the better deal.

One unit rate statement shows correctly the comparision of unit rates.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that Miss Garcia's Sandwich shop sells a 6 inch sandwich for $3.00 and a 12 inch sandwich for $4.80.

Now we have to determine the unit rates of both statement.

As, the rate of 6 inch sandwich = $3.00

So, the rate of 1 inch sandwich =
`(1inch)/(6inch)* \$ 3.00`

= $0.5

and,

As, the rate of 12 inch sandwich = $4.80

So, the rate of 1 inch sandwich =
`(1inch)/(12inch)* \$ 4.80`

= $0.4

From this we conclude that, the second deal is the better deal.

One unit rate statement shows correctly the comparision of unit rates.
