Ok.. so this might be a completely stupid question, but I'm sick and not thinking very straight, so I need help.
Ok, so in the problem: price of 5/8 lb= 49 cents. How much is the price of 1 lb? You take 49/1 divided by 5/8, which interchanging would be, 49/1 times 8/5 (these are fractions) and that would eventually give you 78 2/5 cents. But what do you do if they give you a price like $1.07? I'm sorry if this is confusing.
Can you explain the process in finding this answer:
(im making the fraction into a decimal to make it less confusing)
6.75 lb ham is priced at $12.25, what is the price per pound?
Wow..
That easy huh -.-
what the hell is up with math teachers tryning to get you to do all this unneeded procedures? thanks guys
