Question

Audrey bought one pound of strawberries for $3.20. What is the price, in dollars per ounce of strawberries?

Answer 1

$0.20 or 20 cents

Explanation:

We know she pays $3.20 per pound, and that there are 16 ounces in a pound, so we can just divide to figure it out.

3.20 / 16 = 0.20

We can check our answer by doing the inverse of operations (multiplying)

16 x 0.20 = 3.20

So, she the price for an ounce of strawberries is $0.20 (20 cents). I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: $0.20

Explanation:

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, so divide $3.20 by 16 to get the price of dollars/ounce

3.20/16 = $0.20/ounce
