Prices for Oranges
Price APrice BPrice C

$2.25 for 6$1.30 for 4$0.97 for 2
Which gives the prices in order, from least to greatest unit rate?
Price B, Price A, Price CPrice C, Price B, Price APrice C, Price A, Price B Price B, Price C, Price A

Answer 1

2.25 for 6 would be 0.375 per one of them
1.30 for 4 would be 0.325 per one of them
0.97 for 2 would be 0.485 per one of them

Answer 2

1st Option is correct that is Price B , Price A , Price C

Explanation:

Given:

Price A : Price of 6 oranges = $ 2.25

Price B : Price of 4 oranges = $ 1.30

Price C : Price of 2 oranges = $ 0.97

To find: Prices in increasing order that is from least to greatest unit rate.

First we unit rate of each price that is cost of 1 oranges in each price.

Price A : Price of 1 oranges =
`(2.25)/(6)=0.375=0.38\:\:(approx.)`

Price B : Price of 1 oranges =
`(1.30)/(4)=0.325=0.33\:\:(approx.)`

Price C : Price of 1 oranges =
`(0.97)/(2)=0.485=0.49\:\:(approx.)`

So, Prices in Increasing order is as follows

0.33 < 038 < 0.49 ⇒ Price B < Price A < Price C

Therefore, 1st Option is correct that is Price B , Price A , Price C
