Cheryl, Rita, and four of their friends go to a movie and share a 48-ounce bag of popcorn equally and three 48-inch licorice laces equally. Write a ratio comparing the number of ounces of popcorn to the number of friends. Then, write a unit rate comparing the length of licorice lace for each person.
You divide each total amount by the number of persons Popcorn: 48/6 = 8 Licorice: 3 X 48 = 144 144/6 = 24 So each person ate 8 ounces of popcorn and 24 inches of licorice laces
