Question

Tao buys almonds to prepare a sauce and serve it with noodles. Buy a 3/8 pound bag of almonds for $1.20.

What is the unit price per ounce that tao pays for almonds? (16 oz = 1 lb)
Or $0.15
Or $0.20
Or $2.40
Or $3.20​

Answer 1

Second option $0.2

Explanation:

First we can convert 3/8 pounds to oz

since 16oz is in 1 pound

so 3/8 pound will be

3/8*16=6 oz

Then to find unit price per oz

we just take the total cost $1.20 divide by 6

$1.20/6=$0.2
