Title: Solving Ratio and Rate Problems: Techniques and Meaningful Comparisons

Refer to the Learning Activity titled “Introduction to Ratio and Rates: Comparing 
Values.” Describe the technique that was used to solve Example 3: Soda 
Purchase. What other approaches might you use to solve the same problem?
Suppose a customer prefers to work with the criterion “How many items can be 
purchased for $1?” Explain why that might be a meaningful comparison for the 
customer to use, and explain how the comparison would then be able to 
compare two different items having different selling prices.
