Susan needs 228 ounces of fruit juice for a party. she is choosing between two brands of juice. two brands of juice brand a brand b 12 ounces 8 ounces $2.55 $1.45 she finds the unit rate of each brand and rounds to the nearest cent. which statement about the unit rates is true? brand a costs approximately $0.18 per ounce, and brand b costs approximately $0.21 per ounce. brand a costs approximately $0.12 per ounce, and brand b costs approximately $0.15 per ounce. brand a costs approximately $0.15 per ounce, and brand b costs approximately $0.12 per ounce. brand a costs approximately $0.21 per ounce, and brand b costs approximately $0.18 per ounce.

The correct answer is: "Brand A costs approximately $0.21 per ounce, and Brand B costs approximately $0.18 per ounce."

In order to find the rounded cost per one item (in this case, per one ounce) Susan needs to divide the total price between the number of units and after that, round the result obtained up to the nearest cent.

Therefore:

Brand A

2.55$/12 ounces= 0.2125 $/ounce

As the third decimal digit, 2, is closer to 0 than to 9, then we maintain the second decimal digit as 1.

The price per unit of brand A after rounding it up is 0.21 $ per ounce

Brand B

1.45$/8 ounces= 0.1812

As the third decimal digit, 1, is closer to 0 than to 9, then we maintain the second decimal digit as 8.

The price per unit of brand B after rounding it up is 0.18 $ per ounce

the first 10 amendments to the u.s. constitution are known as the bill of rights. those 10 amendments establish the most basic freedoms for americans including the rights to worship how they want, speak how they want, and assembly and peaceably protest their government how they want. the amendments have also been subject to much interpretation since their adoption, particularly the right to carry a gun under the second amendment.

"a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference," said thomas jefferson, the author of the declaration of independence and the third president of the united states.

when we think of a­ncient paga­n kings, the ideas of justice and fairness probably aren't the first things to come to mind. we moderns may be more likely to imagine fickle, power-hungry despots who were ready to put someone to death on a whim. but king hammurabi, who ruled a prosperous and thriving babyloniaalmost four millennia ago, doesn't quite fit that mold. he claimed to have protect the weak from oppression, and scholars believe he fostered an atmosphere of justice and righteousness for his people.

this belief is based on an object that was discovered only a century ago. it has already earned a place alongside the rosetta stone as one of the most important artifacts of the ancient world. this stela (stone pillar) bears the inscription of the code of hammurabi, and it has shed light on the laws, culture and life in babylonia.
