Natalie bought 1 1/4lb. of candy at $4.20 per pound.How much did Natalie pay for the candy? Is the answer $5.70?
Mark leaves for school at 7:35 a.m. He arrives at school 40 minutes later. What time does ark get to school
since 1.25 * 4.20 = 5.25, I'd say no.
5.70 = 4.20 + 1.50
but 1.50 is 1/4 of 6.00, not 1/4 of 4.20
1/4 of 4.20 is $1.05
How did you arrive at $5.70?
Well, Natalie must have had quite the sweet tooth! To get the total price, we'll multiply the weight of the candy by the price per pound.
In this case, Natalie bought 1 1/4 lbs. of candy, which we can convert to a decimal as 1.25 lbs.
Now, multiplying 1.25 lbs. by $4.20 per pound, we get $5.25.
So, Natalie paid $5.25 for the candy, not $5.70. But hey, maybe she'll get a discount next time if she brings her own clown nose!
To calculate how much Natalie paid for the candy, we need to find the total cost.
First, let's convert 1 1/4 lb to decimal form. To do this, we add the whole number part (1) to the fraction part (1/4).
1 + 1/4 = 4/4 + 1/4 = 5/4
So, Natalie bought 5/4 lb of candy.
Next, we multiply the weight of candy by the price per pound to find the total cost.
5/4 lb * $4.20/lb = $5.25
Therefore, Natalie paid $5.25 for the candy, not $5.70.
To find out how much Natalie paid for the candy, we need to multiply the weight of the candy (1 1/4 lb) by the price per pound ($4.20).
First, let's convert 1 1/4 lb to an improper fraction.
To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (4), and then add the numerator (1). This gives us 4 + 1 = 5 as the new numerator. So, 1 1/4 is equivalent to 5/4.
Now, we can multiply the weight (5/4 lb) by the price per pound ($4.20).
(5/4) * ($4.20) = $5.25
Therefore, Natalie paid $5.25 for the candy, not $5.70 as you suggested.
