Question

Find the unit rate: $6.20 for 5 pounds of candy. How much does it cost for 3 pounds of candy?

Answer 1

to find the uni-rate we have to divide the price in the number of pounds so:

`\begin{gathered} r=(6.20)/(5) \\ r=1.24 \end{gathered}`

this means that each pound cost $1.24 so 3 pounds are:

`1.24\cdot3=3.72`

So the answer is B)
