The question asks is to find the unit rate, or price per ounce.

To find this, we need to divide the price by the number of ounces.

price/ ounces

It costs $3.60 for 9 ounces of cereal.

$3.60/9 ounces

$0.4/ounce

It costs $0.40 per ounce of cereal.

multiply each number by ten to get a simplified answer of 7/1.
