Parmesan cheese was on sale for $13.60 per pound. Wesley bought a piece of the parmesan cheese that weighed 1 1/8 pounds. How much did he pay?
Answer ASAP..
1 lb he saves 13.60
then for the other 1/8 he saves 1/8 of 13.60
Divide 13.60 by 8 and then add that answer to 13.60
1.125 * 13.6 = $_________
To find out how much Wesley paid for the parmesan cheese, we need to multiply the price per pound by the weight of the cheese he bought.
The price per pound is $13.60. To convert the mixed number 1 1/8 pounds into a decimal, we add the whole number part (1) to the fraction part (1/8). This gives us 1 + 1/8 = 9/8 pounds.
Now we can calculate the total cost by multiplying the price per pound by the weight:
$13.60/pound × 9/8 pound = $<<13.60*(9/8)=15.30>>15.30.
Therefore, Wesley paid $15.30 for the piece of parmesan cheese.
