Answer 1

• (a)$0.45 per ounce

,

• (b)2.22 oz per dollar

,

• (c)c=0.45h and h=2.22c

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Cost of 12 oz of honey = $5.40

`\begin{gathered} \text{Cost per ounce=}(5.40)/(12) \\ =\$0.45\text{ per ounce} \end{gathered}`

(b)Number of ounces that can be bought with one dollar

`\begin{gathered} =(12)/(5.40) \\ =2.22\text{ oz per dollar} \end{gathered}`

(c) If h=number of ounces of honey; and

c=cost in dollars

Then:

`\begin{gathered} c=0.45h;\text{ and} \\ h=2.22c \end{gathered}`
