Find each unit price. Which is the better buy? Explain.

Electrical wire:

$1.49 for 3 ft.

$.69 for 18 in.
Answered by Steve
divide cost/quantity

$1.49/3ft = $0.4967/ft

and similarly for the other one. Then compare
Answered by bobpursley
depends on how much wire you need.
one is almost 50cents per foot, the other is almost 46 cents per foot.

How did you get 46?
Answered by Ms. Sue
0.69 / 1.5 = 0.46
Answered by Answer Genius
1.49/3 = x/1
cross multiply
3x = 1.49
x = 1.49/3
x = 0.496 (rounds to 50 cents per foot)

.69/18 = x/1
cross multiply
18x = .69
x = .69/18
x = .038 per inch
12 inches in a foot
x = .038(12) = 0.456 (rounds to 46 cents per foot)
