Answer 1

Answer: I Believe the answer is Choice A

Answer 2

Choice A is the lowest price per ounce

Explanation:

Choice A: 5 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Cost of 5 ounces of raisins = $1.49

Cost of 1 ounce of raisins =
`(1.49)/(5)`

=
`0.298`

Unit rate =$ 0.298

Choice B: 12 ounces of raisins for $3.59

Cost of 12 ounces of raisins = $3.59

Cost of 1 ounce of raisins =
`(3.59)/(12)`

=
`0.299`

Unit rate =$0.299

Hence Choice A is the lowest price per ounce
