Answer 1

To find the unit rate price per ounce of the root beer, you can divide the total cost by the total volume in ounces.

The total cost is $3.20 for a 64 oz. bottle.

To calculate the unit rate:

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Ounces}} = \frac{3.20}{64} \]

Now perform the division:

\[ \frac{3.20}{64} = 0.05 \]

So, the unit price per ounce is $0.05.

The correct response is $0.05.
