Grade 7 FINDING RATES- mini assignment

Use a store flyer,  Grocery Flyer app (REEBEE), or the internet 




Part A)  Find 10 prices that are written as rates.  For example, you might find 2 for $1.35, or 1 L for $1.99.  Convert each price into several other unit rates.  Which rates are more useful to write as unit rates?  Which rates are not useful as unit rates?


For example:
I found an 8.87 L container of liquid laundry detergent that cost $11.94 and does 200
loads.  There are a few different unit rates I could calculate.

1 L costs $1.35

0.74 L costs $1

1 load costs $0.06.

Part B)  Choose a product (i.e. Orange Juice) and compare at least 3 different brands and prices of each.  Which is the best deal?  What are some other factors that you may want to consider?
