Answer 1

To find out which size has the lower unit price, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each size.

1. 48 ounces for $4.50:

   • Price per ounce = $4.50 / 48 ounces = $0.09375 per ounce.

2. 64 ounces for $3:

   • Price per ounce = $3 / 64 ounces = $0.046875 per ounce.

3. 128 ounces for $7:

   • Price per ounce = $7 / 128 ounces = $0.0546875 per ounce.

Now we can compare the unit prices:

• 48 ounces = $0.09375 per ounce
• 64 ounces = $0.046875 per ounce
• 128 ounces = $0.0546875 per ounce

The lowest price per ounce is for the 64 ounces at $0.046875 per ounce.
