Question

Compare and Explain: Are they equivalent?

Jenny is comparing the cost of two packages of socks. One package has 8 pairs of socks for $12. Another package has 3 pairs of socks for $6. Are the rates equivalent?

Answer 1

12/8 is 1.5 so in that package each pair of socks is $1.50
6/3 is 2 so in the second package each pair of socks is $2
so the rates are not equivalent
