Question

1 1/4 pound package of turkey for $9What is the unit price of the turkey in the package

Answer 1

For this case we know that 1 1/4 pound of turkey costs 9$

And we want to find the unitary price of turkey we can do this:

`\frac{9\text{dollars}}{(5)/(4)\text{pounds}}=\frac{9\cdot4\text{dollars}}{5\text{pound}}=\frac{7.2\text{dollars}}{\text{pound}}`

Then the unitary cost is:

7.2 $/pound
