Determine the unit rate then determine which is a better buy. Option A: A 4 pack of 3.2-ounce servings of applesauce for $2.50 or Option B: 24 ounces of applesauce for $3.69

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A:

4 pack of 3.2-ounce servings of applesauce cost $2.50. This implies that 4 × 3.2 ounce = 12.8 ounce servings of applesauce cost $2.50. Hence:

The unit rate = $2.50 / 12.8 ounce = $0.1953 per ounce

For option B:

24-ounce servings of applesauce cost $3.69. Hence:

The unit rate = $3.69 / 24 ounce = $0.15375 per ounce

From the unit rates of option A and option B, option B has a lesser unit rate, hence option B is a better buy.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
