Question

Find each unit rate. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

1.) Teresa can buy 18 golf balls for $32.99.

2.) A 15 oz bottle of juice costs $2.75.

Answer 1

For unit rate, divide the total dollar amounts by the amount of the item you have.

in number 1:

18 golf balls equal $32.99

so divide 32.99 by 18

32.99

18

This tells us that 1 golf ball costs roughly $1.83

2. Do the same thing except put the ounces of juice under the total cost

2.75

15

This will tell us that 1 oz of juice costs $0.18.

Since this is in word form, it is a rule in higher math to answer in the same format.

The unit rate for one golf ball is $1.83, and it costs $0.18 per ounce of juice.
