Answer 2

`Rate = \$1.76/kg`

Explanation:

Given

`(1)/(16)kg` of nails costs
`\$ (11)/(100)`

Required

Determine the rate

The rate, in this case, will be calculated as:

`Rate = (amount)/(weight)`

`Rate = ((11)/(100))/((1)/(16))`

This gives

`Rate = (11)/(100) * 16`

`Rate = (176)/(100)`

`Rate = \$1.76/kg`
