Answer: $3.69
Explanation:
Laura bought 4 1/3 bushels of apples.
Firs convert this to an improper fraction for easier calculation:
= 13/3 bushels of apples.
If cost $16 altogether, individually they must cost:
= Cost / Quantity purchased
= 16 ÷ 13/3
= 16 * 3/13
= $3.69
Note: You can divide by a fraction by multiplying the inverse of that fraction.
