Answer:

$62.1

Explanation:

The tube of toothpaste shown cost $3.45. Estimate the price per cubic inch of toothpaste.

= Volume = Length × Width × Height

= 8 in × 1.5 in × 1.5 in

= 18 in³

From the above question:

1 in³ = $3.45

18 in³ = $x

Cross Mulitiply

x × 1 in³ = 18 in³ × $3.45

x = 18 in³ × $3.45/ 1 in³

x = $62.1

Therefore, the price per cubic inch of toothpaste is $62.1
