Respuesta :
The rate of grapes said by Emika i.e., 0.4 pounds per dollar is the correct rate.
We know that the rate is nothing but the ratio of two different quantities which have different units.
In this question, we have been given two pounds of grapes cost $5
First we find the rate in pounds per dollar.
2 pounds of grapes = $5
As rate is the ratio of two different quantities, we find the ratio (pounds per dollar).
= 2 pounds /5 dollars
= (2/5) pounds per dollar
= 0.4 pounds per dollar .......(1)
This means the rate of grapes is 0.4 pounds per dollar.
In this question, we have been given Jordan says that's 2.5 pounds per dollar and Emika says it's 0.4 pounds per dollar.
From (1), we can clearly say that Emika is correct.
Therefore, the rate of grapes said by Emika i.e., 0.4 pounds per dollar is the correct rate.
