To determine the unit rate of the proportional relationship from the graph, we need to find the slope. The slope represents the rate of change of cost per ounce.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the cost of 4 cans of peas is $2.40 and the cost of 6 cans of peas is $3.60.
The change in cost is $3.60 - $2.40 = $1.20
The change in quantity is 6 cans - 4 cans = 2 cans
Now, we can calculate the unit rate by dividing the change in cost by the change in quantity:
Unit rate = Change in cost / Change in quantity
Unit rate = $1.20 / 2 = $0.60
Therefore, the unit rate of the proportional relationship shown in the graph is $0.60 per ounce of canned peas.
The graph displays the cost per ounce of canned peas. Use the graph to determine the unit rate of the proportional relationship.
