Hello

I think I can help you with this.

the unit rate is the price that you pay for a unit of product, in this case the unit product is the once.

it can be calculated by

`Unit\ rate = (total\ price\ paid)/(number\ of\ products) \\`

Step 1

Let

total price paid=$5.79

number of products=36 ounces

Step 2

put the values into the equation

`Unit\ rate = (total\ price\ paid)/(number\ of\ products)\\Unit\ rate = (5.79)/(36)\\Unit\ rate =0.16`

it means the unit rate is $0.16 per ounce
