One pound costs $8.28. What is the total cost of 10 1/3 pounds?
10.3333 * 8.38 = ?
Thanks to Ms Sue. I wasn't using the fraction correctly.
To find the total cost of 10 1/3 pounds, we first need to calculate the cost of 1 pound by multiplying the pound value by the cost per pound.
Given that one pound costs $8.28, we can use this information to calculate the cost of 10 1/3 pounds.
First, let's convert 1/3 pound to its decimal equivalent. Since 1/3 is approximately 0.3333, we can round it to 0.33 for simplicity.
Now, we can calculate the total cost as follows:
Cost of 10 pounds = 10 * $8.28
Cost of 0.33 pounds = 0.33 * $8.28
So, the total cost of 10 1/3 pounds can be calculated by adding the cost of 10 pounds to the cost of 0.33 pounds:
Total Cost = (10 * $8.28) + (0.33 * $8.28)
