Answer 1

To find the unit rates, we can use the following formulas:

1. Unit rate of bags of chips per dollar: This is calculated by dividing the number of bags of chips by the total cost in dollars.

2. Unit rate of dollars per bag of chips: This is calculated by dividing the total cost in dollars by the number of bags of chips.

Given:

• Number of bags of chips = 5
• Total cost = $34.29

Calculating unit rates:

1. Bags of chips per dollar: \[ \text{Unit rate (bags per dollar)} = \frac{5 \text{ bags}}{34.29 \text{ dollars}} \approx 0.145 \text{ bags per dollar} \] Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Unit rate (bags per dollar)} \approx 0.15 \text{ bags per dollar} \]

2. Dollars per bag of chips: \[ \text{Unit rate (dollars per bag)} = \frac{34.29 \text{ dollars}}{5 \text{ bags}} \approx 6.858 \text{ dollars per bag} \] Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Unit rate (dollars per bag)} \approx 6.86 \text{ dollars per bag} \]

Final answers:

• The unit rate for bags of chips per dollar is approximately 0.15 bags per dollar.
• The unit rate of dollars per bag of chips is approximately $6.86 per bag.
