Question

A store sells 1 1/4 pound package of turkey for 9 dollars what is the price of the turkey in the package

Answer 1

$7.2

Explanation:

Given data

Weight = 1 1/4

convert to simple fraction= 5/4 pounds

The cost of 5/4 pounds of package = $9

Let us find the cost per pound

cost per pound = 9/5/4

multiply by the multiplicative inverse of the denominator

cost per pound = 9*4/5

cost per pound = 36/5

cost per pound = $7.2 per pound

Hence the cost of 1 pound of the package is $7.2
