Math I need help with it!!!!!

elana went to the store where you can scoop your own popcorn and buy as much as you want. She bought 10 ounces spicy popcorn for $2.50

how much dose popcorn cost per ounce

​

Answer 1

each ouce is worth 25 cents

solution

in order to solve this you need to create proportions so

10 ounces

per $2.50

well you want this to be a unit rate so you would have

10 ounces = 1 ounce

2.50 x

to get to the unit rate, you can see that you divided 10 from 10 ounces so you would do the same to the bottom ...

2.50/10 which is equal to 0.25.
