Question

A 4kg ham cost $13/kg. Find the cost per pound . Round to the nearest hundred​

Answer 1

The cost per pound of the ham is $5.89.

Explanation:

Given that a 4kg ham cost $13/kg, in order to find the cost per pound the following calculation has to be made:

1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

2.20462 = 13

1 = X

((1 x 13) / 2.20462) = X

13 / 2.20462 = X

5.89 = X

Therefore, the cost per pound of the ham is $5.89.
