Answer:

A.6 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find which unit rate is the lowest price per ounce.

To find unit rate we will divided the total cost by total amount

A.6 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Unit rate=[tex]\frac{1.49}{6}[/tex]

Unit rate=$0.25/ounce

B.13 ounces of raisins for $3.59

Unit rate=[tex]\frac{3.59}{13}[/tex]

Unit rate=$0.28/ounce

The price per ounce  for  6 ounces of raisins for $1.49 is lowest.
