Question

Create a story context for the following expression:4 × ( 4.8 / 0.8)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8 kg of a certain fruit costs $4.8 and you want to find the cost of 4 kg.

The cost of 1 kg is

$\frac{\ 4.8}{0.8\operatorname{kg}}$

Therefore, the cost of 4 kg would be

$\frac{\ 4.8}{0.8\operatorname{kg}}\times4\operatorname{kg}$

Hence, the expression

$\frac{4.8}{0.8}\times4$

represents the cost of buying 4 kgs of a certain fruit that costs $4.8 per 0.8 kg.
