Ok so to find best price, find cost per unit or unit  rate

so what we do is
(amount of flower x batches)/x and divide out
when dividng fractions, just invert the second one and multiply, example
3/4 divided by 5/6=3/4 times 6/5=18/20 so

A.1/2 cup for 2/3, (1/2)/(2/3), 1/2 times 3/2, 3/4 cup per batch

B. 1/3 per 1/4 batch, (1/3)/(1/4), 1/3 times 4/1, 4/3 cup per batch=1 and 1/3

C. 2/3 cup for 1/2 batch, (2/3)/(1/2), 2/3 times 2/1, 4/3 cp per batch=1 and 1/3

D. 3/4 cup per 2/3 batch, (3/4)/(2/3), 3/4 times 3/2, 9/8 cup per batch=1 and 18/

lowest unit rate is 3/4 cup per batch since others are greater than 1

answer is A

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
