8. A store sells the same pasta the following two ways: 10 pounds of bulk pasta for $15.00 2 pounds of packaged pasta for $3.98 Bulk Pasta: $15.00= $1.50 10 lb 1 lb Packaged Pasta: $3.98 = $1.99 2 lb 1 lb Which is the better buy?

11. What is best? 10 pencils for $4.00 or 6 pencils for $2.70 ? Here is the Unit Cost: $4.00 / 10 = $0.40 per pencil $2.70 / 6 = $0.45 per pencil So the lowest Unit Price (and the best bargain) is 10 pencils for $4.00

12. Comparing Comparing Unit Prices can be a good way of finding which is the "best buy". Example: What is best? 2 liters of Milk at $3.80, or 1.5 liters of Milk at $2.70 ? In this case the "Unit" is 1 liter, and the Unit Prices are: $3.80 / 2 liters = $1.90 per liter $2.70 / 1.5 liters = $1.80 per liter So the lowest Unit Price (and the best bargain) is 1.5 liters at $2.70.

13. You buy a package of 6 pairs of athletic socks for $8.94. Write this as a unit rate. $1.49 per pair A bullet train in Japan can travel 186 miles in 2 hours. Write this as a unit rate. 93 mi/h Which is the better buy? Cereal:17 ounces for $3.40 or 14 ounces for $3.08 17 ounces for $3.40
