Calculation:  Assume the smaller packing as x and the bigger packing be y.  First have to find the rate of one ounce of milk in both the packing individually,  Therefore,  The rate becomes.  x=x=2.2510  =0.225  So the rate of one ounce of milk in smaller packing is $0.225  y=735  =0.2  And the rate of one ounce of milk in bigger packing is $0.2  Therefore, the small packing size is selling milk at rate of $0.225 while the bigger packing size is selling milk at rate of $0.2 so the two rates are not equivalent as the bigger packing size is selling the milk at a lower rate than the smaller packing size expression will be 60 miles.
