Math Rates in Real Life

Your job is to choose two different products. For each product you will then look at four examples of that product with different prices either at the same or different stores. For each you will be establishing a rate price, a unit rate price and explaining, which is the cheapest of the four deals and how you came up with your Unit Rate.


Looking For :
Product- An image of each item.
Rate – For each individual item.
Unit Rate- Common to all items of one product.
Work- Show all the steps you took.
Identify- Which is the best price.
Paragraph- Explain what unit rate you choose and why

Also explain why it is the cheapest and how your unit rate shows this.


We will continue to work on this throughout the week. Keep thinking of some new products.
