Unit Rate from Tables and Equations Quick Check Use the table to answer the question Cost of Pencils Quantity Cost ( ) 48 12.00 246.00 123.00 6 1.50 Determine the cost for 1 pencil
To determine the cost for 1 pencil, we need to find the unit rate, which is the cost divided by the quantity.
For the first scenario with 48 pencils costing $12, the unit rate would be:
12.00 / 48 = $0.25 per pencil
For the second scenario with 246 pencils costing $123, the unit rate would be:
123.00 / 246 = $0.50 per pencil
For the third scenario with 6 pencils costing $1.50, the unit rate would be:
1.50 / 6 = $0.25 per pencil
Therefore, the cost for 1 pencil would be $0.25.
