Question

At the grocery store Abdullah purchased 3 pounds of mac and cheese for $7.50.

How much Mac and cheese does he get per dollar if you need to pay $2.50 per pound

Answer 1

Abdullah gets 0.4 pounds of mac and cheese per dollar when the price is $2.50 per pound. This is found by taking the reciprocal of the price per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much mac and cheese Abdullah gets per dollar when he needs to pay $2.50 per pound, we need to divide the amount he purchased by the total cost. Abdullah bought 3 pounds for $7.50, so let's calculate the price per pound: $7.50 ÷ 3 pounds = $2.50 per pound. Now, we want to find out the quantity of mac and cheese per dollar, which can be calculated by taking the reciprocal of the price per pound. Therefore, Abdullah gets 1 ÷ $2.50 = 0.4 pounds of mac and cheese per dollar.
