Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Ounces and ranges from 0 to 40 in 5 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled Cost in dollars and ranges from from 0.00 to 4.00 in increments of 0.50. The graph is titled Cost per Ounce. A line connects four points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 8 comma 0.80 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 15 comma 1.50 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 30 comma 3.00 right parenthesis.

The graph displays the cost per ounce of canned peas. Use the graph to determine the unit rate of the proportional relationship.

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of the proportional relationship shown in the graph, we can look at the point that corresponds to 1 ounce.

From the plotted points, we can observe the relationship:

- At 8 ounces, the cost is $0.80.
- At 15 ounces, the cost is $1.50.
- At 30 ounces, the cost is $3.00.

To find the cost per ounce, we can divide the cost by the number of ounces:

- For 8 ounces: \( \frac{0.80}{8} = 0.10 \) (cost per ounce)
- For 15 ounces: \( \frac{1.50}{15} = 0.10 \)
- For 30 ounces: \( \frac{3.00}{30} = 0.10 \)

In all cases, the unit rate is $0.10 per ounce.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**Canned peas cost $0.10 per ounce.**
