Answers
GPT 3.5
To find the unit price of the cereal, divide the total cost of the cereal by the number of ounces in the box.
Total cost of the cereal = $3.87
Number of ounces in the box = 21 1/2 ounces
To convert 1/2 to decimals, divide 1 by 2 = 0.5
So, the number of ounces in the box = 21 + 0.5 = 21.5 ounces
Unit price of the cereal = Total cost / Number of ounces
Unit price of the cereal = $3.87 / 21.5 ounces
Dividing, the unit price of the cereal is approximately $0.18 per ounce.
