Answer 1

$3.20 per kilogram

Explanation:

We have been given that the price of the grapes is $1.44 per pound.

Now, 1 pound = 0.45 kilograms.

Therefore, price of 0.45 kilograms of grapes is $1.44.

Thus, in order to find the price of 1 kg, we can divide 1.44 by 0.45.

Hence, price of 1 kilogram of grapes is
`(1.44)/(0.45)=\$3.20`

Therefore, price of the grapes is $3.20 per kilogram

Answer 2

`\$3.20\ per\ kilogram`

Explanation:

we have that

The price of grapes at the grocery store is
`1.44(\$)/(pound)`

`0.45\ kg=1\ pound`

To convert
`1.44(\$)/(pound)` to
`(\$)/(kilogram)` divide by
`0.45`

so

`1.44/0.45=3.20(\$)/(kilogram)`
