Question

A package of ground beef costs $6.98. The price per pound is $3.86. How many pounds of ground beef are in the package? Round to the nearest hundredth.

A. 1.81
B. 1.80
C. 1.72
D. .27

Answer 1

B. 1.81

Explanation:

Simply divide
`(6.98)/(3.86)` to get
`1.8082...`.

This is closer to
`1.81` than it is to
`1.80`, so that is how it is rounded.

Then, you have your answer.
