Canned peas cost $3.00 per ounce.

Answer 1

To determine the unit rate (cost per ounce) of canned peas from the provided information, we can calculate the cost per ounce for each option:

1. For 1 can (1.00 for 10 oz): \[ \text{Cost per ounce} = \frac{1.00}{10} = 0.10 \text{ dollars per ounce} \]

2. For 2 cans (1.50 for 15 oz): \[ \text{Cost per ounce} = \frac{1.50}{15} = 0.10 \text{ dollars per ounce} \]

3. For 3 cans (3.00 for 30 oz): \[ \text{Cost per ounce} = \frac{3.00}{30} = 0.10 \text{ dollars per ounce} \]

All three calculations show that the cost per ounce is $0.10.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Canned peas cost $0.10 per ounce.
