1: 1.19 for 67.2 ounces is about 1.77 cents per ounce. However, $1.50 for 72 ounces is about 2.08 cents per ounce. Clearly, then, the first bottle is cheaper.

2. We simply divide 3/4 by 2 to get (3/4) / 2=3 / (4*2) = 3/8.

3. If the length of the second is 20 feet compared to a 2-foot length for the first, the width of the second rectangle will be ten times the width of the first, so the width of the second rectangle is 10*8=80.
