a) How much do raisins cost per ounce?
b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?
Part a) How much do raisins cost per ounce?
we know that
To find out the unit rate divide the total cost by the total weight
so
[tex]\frac{4}{5} =\$0.8\ per\ ounce[/tex]
therefore
The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce
Part b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?
we know that
The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce
using proportion
Find out how many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1
Let
x -----> the ounces of raisins
[tex]\frac{1}{0.8}=\frac{x}{1}\\\\x= 1.25\ ounces[/tex]
