Question

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

Answer 1

7.20 dollars

Explanation:

1 1/4 can be expressed as 5/4 ((1*4+1) /4)

If price of 5/4 pound of turkey = $9

Price of 1 pound of turkey = $9 / (5/4)

( Same way you'd divide the price of 2 pounds by 2 to get the price of 1 pound)

$9 / (5/4) = $7.2
