Question

Parmesan cheese was on sale for $13.60 per pound. Wesley bought a piece of parmesan cheese that weighed 1 ⅛ pounds

how much did he pay and if you can explain ​

Answer 1

Wesley paid $15.30 for the parmesan cheese.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Wesley paid for the piece of parmesan cheese, we need to multiply the weight of the cheese by the price per pound.

First, we need to convert 1 ⅛ pounds to a decimal. ⅛ is equal to 0.125, so 1 ⅛ would be 1 + 0.125 = 1.125 pounds.

Now, we can multiply the weight by the price per pound: 1.125 pounds × $13.60/pound = $15.30.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Parmesan cheese was on sale for $13.60 per pound

Welsey bought a piece of the parmesan cheese that weighted \frac{11}{8} pounds

we need to spend$13.60 for 1 pound

for 11/8 pound

11/8 x 13.60= 18.72

So Wesley need to spend $18.70 to get the Parmesan cheese.
