Answer 1

Answer: Canned Fruit A is cheaper per ounce then canned Fruit B.

Explanation:

To determine which of the two canned fruits is cheaper per ounce, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each product.

For Canned Fruit A:

Price: $0.37

Ounces: 3

Price per ounce for Canned Fruit A:

Price per ounce=Price/Ounces=$0.37/3 ounces=$0.1233 per ounce

​

=$0.1233 per ounce

For Canned Fruit B:

Price: $0.58

Ounces: 3 3/4 (which is equivalent to 3.75 ounces)

Price per ounce for Canned Fruit B:

Price per ounce=Price/Ounces=$0.58/3.75 ounces=$0.1547 per ounce

​

​

=$0.1547 per ounce Now, we compare the prices per ounce:

Canned Fruit A costs $0.1233 per ounce.

Canned Fruit B costs $0.1547 per ounce.
