Brad buys two packages of mushrooms which mushrooms cost less per pound, $11.25 for 2/3 pounds and $7.99 for 1/2 pounds. Pls help meh

Answer 1

$7.99 for 1/2 pounds cost less per pound

Explanation:

we know that

The unit rate is equal to divide the total cost by the total weight

step 1

Find out the unit rate of the first package

$11.25 for 2/3 pounds

The unit rate is

`11.25:(2)/(3)=(33.75)/(2)=\$16.875\ per\ pound`

step 2

Find out the unit rate of the first package

$7.99 for 1/2 pounds

The unit rate is

`7.99:(1)/(2)=(15.98)/(1)=\$15.98\ per\ pound`

therefore

The second package cost less per pound
