Answer 2

cost of 7 muffins is $8.75

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as the quantity 1 such as 2 miles per hour or 4 meter per seconds.

As per the given statement:

Jacob buys four muffins for $5.00.

then;

`\text{Unit rate per muffins} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of muffins}}`

Substitute the given values we have;

`\text{Unit rate per muffins} = (5)/(4) = \$1.25`

We have to find the cost of 7 muffins:

By definition of unit rate;

`\text{total Cost of 7 muffins} = \text{unit rate per muffins} * 7`

Substitute the given values we have;

`\text{total Cost of 7 muffins} = 1.25 * 7 = \$8.75`

Therefore, cost of 7 muffins is $8.75
