Answer:
So the unit price of the trail - mix is $4.80 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam paid $3.60 for 3/4 pound of his favorite trail-mix.
What it means is that said paid for 3/4 = 0.75 of a pound for $3.60
So let's determine how much he could have paid for a complete pound
$3.60= 0.75 pound
X= 1 pound
$X*0.75 pound= $3.60*1 pound
$x= ($3.60*1 pound)/0.75 pound
$x=$3.60/0.75
$x= $4.80
So the unit price of the trail - mix is $4.80 per pound
Answer:
27 13/60
Step-by-step explanation:
What you have tried to do is not an impossible way to do it. What you could do is set your fractions and whole numbers like this.
( 7 + 1/10) * (3 + 5/6) I don't know if you know what FOIL is, but that is the way to proceed.
- First: (meaning the first in each factor ). 3 * 7 = 21
- Outside: (meaning the two terms near outside the brackets) 7 * 5/6 = 5 5/6
- Inside: The two terms closest to the * sign 1 / 10 *3 = 3/10
- Last: The two end terms (1/10 * 5/6 = 5/60 5/60
Now you can add. 21 + 5 is the whole number amount = 26
Add the fractions
- 5/6 + 3/10 + 5/60 The lowest common multiple is 60
- 50/60 + 18/60 +5/60 = 73 / 60 = 1 and 13/60
Add that to 26 and you get 27 13/60
