How can you use rate to compare the costs of two boxes of cereal that are different sizes?

Answer 1

Find out the cost per ounce.

Divide the cost of the box by the number of ounces.

Answer 2

Unit pricing. It is probably listed on the shelf but you can do it yourself anyway.
Both boxes will have the mass of cereal contained in each. Say box A is 1 kilogram and box B is 2 kilograms
Say box A costs 1 dollar and box B costs 1.50 dollars
then
Box A costs 1 dollar per kilogram and box B costs 1.50/2 = 0.75 dollars per kilogram

Obviously box B costs less per kilogram.
