Question

Elijah bought 3 3/4 pounds of groind hamburger meat for $11.00. What is the price per pound of the ground hamburger meat. Roind to the nearest cent if necessary.

Answer 1

3 3/4 = 0.75

11.00 - 0.75 = 10.25

10.25 is the answer

Answer 2

$2.93/pound

Explanation:

Elijah bought
`3(3)/(4)` pounds of ground hamburger meat for $11.00

The cost of
`3(3)/(4)` pounds or
`(15)/(4)` pounds of ground hamburger meat = $11.00

The cost of 1 pound of ground hamburger meat =
`(11)/((15)/(4))`

=
`(11* 4)/(15)`

=
`(44)/(15)`

= $2.93333 ≈ $2.93

The cost of 1 pound of ground hamburger meat would $2.93.
