Given:

2-cup carton of milk = $0.56

2-quart carton of milk for $3.76​

To find which of them is a better buy, let's calculate the price of each cup for both.

i) 2-cup carton of milk = $0.56

1 cup =


(0.56)/(2)\text{ = }0.28

Here, 1 cup carton of milk is $0.28

ii) 2-quart carton of milk = $3.76​

Given that 1 quart = 4 cups

2 quart = 4 * 2 = 8 cups

Thus

1 cup =


(3.76)/(8)\text{ = }0.47

Here, a cup carton of milk is $0.47

$0.28 is less than $0.47, therefore the better buy would be 2-cup carton of milk for $0.56.

Therefore, the best buy would be 2-cup carton of milk for $0.56, because it is cheaper.
