In order to determine the unit price for each type of water, we just have to divide the price of each bottle by the ounces it contains, like this:

Freshwater unit price = 1.92/16 = 0.12

Springwater unit price = 3.22/23 = 0.14

Then, the unit price for Freshwater is $0.12/ounce and for Springwater is $0.14/ounce.

Then, the first statement is true
