    Rachel's unit rate is : 2.80

    Kevin's is: 3.20

    (you simply divide the dollar amount by the rolls of tape- - 33.60: 12)

    Therefore, Kevin's is greater than Rachel's.

    Rachel paid $33.60 for 12 rolls.

    Unit rate paid by Rachel =

    = 2.8

    From table,

    Kevin paid $6.40 for 2 rolls.

    Unit rate paid by Kevin =

    = 3.20.

    Check:

    Kevin bought 5 rolls for $16

    5 * 3.2 = 16

    He also bought 8 rolls for $25.6.

    8 * 3.2 = 25.6.

    If we compare the unit rates paid by Rachel and Kevin,

    Rachel's unit rate is less than Kevin's because 3.2 is greater than 2.8.
