Unit price project 7th grade

Pick one object.... I chose coffee for my example

Students must choose 6-10 different pictures with prices from fliers that represent their object.

Then they must find the unit rate for each object. Price per pound, ounce, whatever just make sure all items are measured in the same unit or you will need to convert.

Put a check mark next to the cheapest item.

Write: How did you get the unit price, explain each step.
