Question

Mrs. Jacobs purchased a 5 pound package of ground beef for $12.40. She decided to use 8 ounces each day for dinner recipes. What is the cost of the ground beef per day?

Answer 1

there is 16 ounces in 1 pound. so you would want to divide 12.40 by 5 = $2.48 . so its $2.48 for a pound divide by 2 and you answer would be $1.24... i hope that helps
