Rachel paid $33.60 for 12 rolls.

Unit rate paid by Rachel = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

= 2.8

From table,

Kevin paid $6.40 for 2 rolls.

Unit rate paid by Kevin = \(\frac{6.40}{2}\)

= 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.
