Example 4:Real-World Example: Use a Unit Rate
• Rate: A ratio that compares two quantities with different kinds of units.
• Unit Rate: When a rate is simplified so that it has a denominator of 1 unit, it is called a unit rate.
• Determine units rates.

The costs of 4 different sizes of orange juice are shown in the table. Which container costs the least per ounce?
A 96-oz containerB 64-oz containerC 32-oz containerD 16-oz container
Read the ItemFind the unit price, or the cost per ounce, of each size of orange juice. **Divide the price by the number of ounces.
Compare Using Unit Rates
Solve the Item
The 96-ounce container of orange juice costs the least per ounce.
16-ounce container $1.28 ÷ 16 ounces
=
$0.08 per ounce
32-ounce container $1.92 ÷ 32 ounces
=
$0.06 per ounce
64-ounce container $2.56 ÷ 64 ounces
=
$0.04 per ounce
96-ounce container $3.36 ÷ 96 ounces
=
$0.035 per
ounce
