Cheesy Goldfish crackers v2

A little background

The task gives the costs of various cheese goldfish products at one store and asks students to compare the three products price per ounce or ounce per price in order to see which one is the best deal. This task connects back to standard 6.RP.3 having student intuitively working through a ratio table to find various price and ounce relationships for each product. Students are asked to find a unit rate of either ounces based off one dollar or dollars based off ounces. This could lead to rich conversation as students define and graphically represent unit rate in two different ways. The activity ends with an open question that asks students to come up with a possible product that offers a better value than any of these products.
