Store a sells 12 juices bottles for $4 and store b sells 18 juice bottles for $6. are the ratew equivalent? explain your reason

First, you'll have to find how much it costs for one bottle of juice.
Store A- 4/12= 0.33 So one bottle of juice costs 33 cents.
Store B- 6/18= 0.33 So one bottle of juice costs 33 cents.

Yes, the rates are equivalent because one bottle of juice costs the same from each store.

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
