Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in the weekly ad 5 pound bag of organic apples will cost 13.95 dollars

To find unit rate

Unit rate can be found in two ways either cost of 1 apple or no of apples for 1 dollars

I part:

5 apples = 13.95 dollars

1 apple = 13.95/5 (since direct variation)

Unit rate for one apple= 2.79 dollars

Part II:

13.95 dollars = 1 apple

1 dollar = 1/13.95 = 0.071

=0.07

But normally since apples are countable as 1,2 ... we use the first type of rate only unit rate per apple
