To find the unit price for each ream, we need to divide the total cost of the box of paper by the number of reams in the box.
At the first company, a box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. So the unit price for each ream is $56/10 = $5.60/ream.
At the second company, a box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. So the unit price for each ream is $36/8 = $4.50/ream.
Therefore, the correct answer is $5.60/ream and $4.50/ream.

$5.60/ream and $4.50/ream
$5.60/ream and $4.50/ream
5.60 reams/$1.00 and 4.50 reams/$1.00
5.60 reams/$1.00 and 4.50 reams/$1.00
0.18/ream/$1.00 and 0.22 ream/$1.00
0.18/ream/$1.00 and 0.22 ream/$1.00
$0.18/ream and $0.22/ream
