Question

mr jones is deciding which package of cheese to buy. which package costs less per ounce?? how much less per ounce is it?

Answer 1

12 oz is .75LB so 1.5LB is larger than the sliced cheese but when you double the sliced cheese it would be 1.5LB and $6.00 which means you could get the same amount of cheese from the block for less money so mr Jones should get the block of cheese (package 2)

Answer 2

package 1 is 0.25 cents per ounce

package 2 is 0.23 cents per ounce

package 2 costs less by 0.02 cents

Explanation:

there are 24 ounces in package 2. Divide cost by number of ounces to get the cost of 1 ounce.
