Answer 1

Brand 6

1) In this problem, we need to find the unit rate. So let's do it and then compare for both brands

2) Brand A

`\begin{gathered} 20oz----2.5 \\ 1oz-----x \\ 20x=2.5 \\ (20x)/(20)=(2.5)/(20) \\ x=\$0.125 \end{gathered}`

So for Brand A, 1 oz is approximately 13 cents ( rounding up to the nearest hundredth)

3) Brand 6

We can write out another proportion:

`\begin{gathered} 32oz----3.25 \\ 1oz----y \\ 32y=3.25 \\ (32y)/(32)=(3.25)/(32) \\ y=\$0.101 \end{gathered}`

So brand 6, 1 oz is approximately 10 cents.
