  24-oz jar is lower cost per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

The 16-ounce jar is almost $2.60. The 24-ounce jar contains half again as much peanut butter (16 +1/2·16 = 24). So, if the 24-ounce jar were the same price, it would cost half-again as much:

  $2.60 +(1/2)2.60 = $2.60 +1.30 = $3.90.

The 24-ounce jar is priced considerably below that amount, so the 24-ounce jar has a lower price per ounce.

You could also view the 16-ounce jar as 2/3 the quantity of the 24-ounce jar. If it were the same price, that price would be about (2/3)$3.30 = $2.20. The 16-ounce jar is somewhat more than that, so costs more per ounce.

Additional comment

For the estimates we did here, we needed prices that were divisible by 2 or 3. That involved adding a penny to the given price. So, the estimated equivalent price is off by a penny or so--not an issue in this case.

Note that we didn't actually need to find the per-ounce prices. We only needed to find the price for an equivalent number of ounces, which is much easier mental arithmetic.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.

d 25 pi/6

step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 10 inches

the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 5 inches

the area of the circle is

a = pi r^2

  = pi 5^2

  = 25 pi

the slice is 60 degrees of the entire circle.

60 degrees out of 360   60/360 = 1/6

the area of the slice is 1/6 of the circle

a slice = 1/6 a circle

a slice = 1/6 * 25 pi
