Question

Suppose you buy a 1.25 pound package of ham at $5.20 per pound what fraction a pound did you buy and how much money did you spend

Answer 1

Alright, 0.25 pounds is one fourth of a pound. So, all we have to do here is this equation

5.20*1/4+5.20

So first we will multiply 1/4 and 5.20

1/4*5.20=1.30

Now we will add 1.30+5.20

6.50 will be our answer
