How do you find the unit rate of a 12-oz bottle of orange juice that sells for $1.29?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

I take "unit rate" to mean the price per ounce.

The ratio, cost / volume, can be represented as a fraction.

#($1.29)/(12 oz)#

#= ($0.1075)/(1 oz)#

or #10 3/4# cents per ounce.

To find the unit rate of a 12-oz bottle of orange juice that sells for $1.29, divide the price by the number of ounces:$ 1.29 ÷ 12 oz = $0.1075 per ounce. So, the unit rate is approximately$ 0.11 per ounce.
