You start by changing the fraction into a decimal.

4.5 lb. of ground beef= 16.11

6.25 lb. of ground turkey= 18.50

Next, you divide the amount they cost by the pounds to get the price per pound.

16.11÷4.5= 3.58

18.50÷6.25= 2.96

So, a pound of beef is $3.58, and a pound of turkey is $2.96.

The turkey is 62 cents less than the beef per pound.

That means the turkey is a better buy! :)


(Have a good day! :))
