Question

The deli scale weighs meat and cheese in hundredths of a pound. Sam put 5/10 pound of pepperoni on the deli scale. What weight does the deli scale show?

Answer 1

Answer: If we simplify the given weight of the pepperoni, we divide the numerator by the denominator. The answer to the division is 5/10 or 0.5. Then, since the weight is asked in unit of hundredths, the final answer would be 2.5.Â
