Unit Price lesson

I can understand how a rate is related to a ratio and use rate reasoning to find a unit rate.

A grocery store sells a 6oz. container of yogurt for $0.78. The store also sells a 32oz. container of the same yogurt for $3.84.
To determine which is the better buy – per ounce – find the unit price of each item.
The unit price is the cost per unit of an item. You can use what you know about unit rates to find a unit price.

​1. Finding how much 1 ounce costs....

​

​

​

​2. Finding how much ounces they would get if they paid the same amount....

​Remember:

• ​Find the unit rate to compare!

• ​Unit Rates are just equivalent ratios in the simplest form.
