Answer 1

This problem is easy division and multiplication.
To find the price per ounce, just divide the price of the 12 oz jar by 12 and then you have your answer in dollars. to find the answer in cents, multiply your answer in dollars by 100.


`2.25/12 = 0.1875 = (0.19 .dollars) OR(19.cents)`

To find the price per quart, you must first find out the price per oz and then multiply that by 32.


`3.24/18 = .18*32 = ((5.76))`

The answer for the first part is $0.19 OR 19¢
The answer for the second part is $5.76
