Question

How do you find a unit rate for $2.50 for 5 ounces

Answer 1

Answer: $0.50 for 1 ounce

Explanation:

To find a unit rate, you have to find the cost for one. When we say it's $2.50 for 5 ounces, it's for 5, not 1. So we have to divide by 5.

2.50/5= 0.5 and 5/5=1

Answer 2

You divide 2.50 by 5.

So 2.50/5 makes it $0.50 per ounce.
