its b: the cost per pint of 3 pints of blueberries if the total cost was 6$

Answer with explanation:

Among the four options,the situation is best modeled with a division expression

In Option A

Selling price of 1 pint of strawberry=$ 3

Selling price of 3 pint of strawberry=$ 3×4=$12

here we have used, Multiplication Operation to solve the problem.

In Option B

Total cost of 3 pints = $ 6

So,cost of 1 pint can be obtained by division expression.

Cost of 1 pint \(=\frac{6}{3}=2\)

→In Option C,we will use addition as well as multiplication Operation.

→In Option D also, we will use addition as well as multiplication Operation.

⇒⇒⇒Option B:The cost per pint of 3 pints of blueberries if the total cost was $6 ,is best modeled with a division expression.
