Question

I NEED HELP CROWN FOR RIGHT ANSWER

Item 4
A frame contains 4 pounds of gold. Suppose gold is worth $1,277 per ounce.

How much would the gold in the crown be worth?


$5,108

$20,432

$40,864

$81,728

Answer 1

D. $81,728

Explanation:

Let's first convert pounds to ounces.

4 pounds x (16 ounces / pound) = 64 ounces. (Remember that when we're converting from a larger unit, pounds, to a smaller one, ounces, we'll have more ounces than pounds, so this answer makes sense!)

Let's now get the cost of the gold.

64 oz x ($1277 / oz) = $81,728. (Wow, that's a lot of gold!)
