Question

If 3 1/3 lb of turkey costs $10.50, how much is one pound of turkey?

Answer 1

$3.15

Explanation:

Cost of 3 1/2 lb of turkey = $10.50

Cost of 1 lb of turkey = $ (10.50 ÷ 3 1/3) = $(10.50 ÷ 10/3) (∵ 3 1/3 =
`(3*3+1)/(3)` = 10/3)
=> $ (10.50 x 3/10) = $(1.05 * 3) = $ 3.15

Hence the cost for 1 lb of turkey is $3.15.

Hope you understood!!
