Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP THIS IS DUE IN 30 MINUTES!!

A juice factory offers its juice in both bottles and cans. A class of students on a field trip decides to compare the numbers on cases of bottled juice and canned juice that are packaged each minute. The students count the number of cases that are packaged on each assembly line over several minutes.

1. What is the unit rate for bottled juice, in case per minute? Explain how you found this unit rate.

2. What is the unit rate for canned juice, in case per minute? Explain how you found this unit rate.

3. Are the cans and bottles packaged at a faster rate?

Answer 1

1. The unit rate for bottled juice is 46/1 (46 cases packaged per minute) You can find this by dividing the amount of cases packaged by the amount of minutes it took

2. The unit rate for canned juice is 50/1 (50 cases packaged per minute) You can find this unit rate by using rise over run or slope.

3. The canned juice is packaged at a faster rate. (+4 more packages per minute)
