Question

You buy rice at 0.71 a pound. One batch of fried rice requires 7 pounds of rice. How much does the rice for one batch cost? Round tobthr nearest cent

Answer 1

Each pound of rice = $0.71

To make a batch, we will require 7 pounds of rice.

Each pound costs $0.71, so 7 pounds would cost >>> 7 * 0.71 = $4.97

Thus, the cost of 1 batch of rice will equal cost of 7 pounds of rice. That is:

$4.97
