Solve the problem.
Suppose the eggplants at a store in Thailand are priced at 1.24 baht per kilogram, where one dollar is worth 1.37 baht. What is the price of the eggplants in dollar per pound?
To solve this problem, we need to convert the price of the eggplants from baht per kilogram to dollar per pound.
First, let's convert the price from baht per kilogram to baht per pound. Since there are 2.20462 pounds in a kilogram, we can multiply the price in baht per kilogram by 2.20462 to get the price in baht per pound.
1.24 baht/kg * 2.20462 kg/lb = 2.73 baht/lb
Now, let's convert the price from baht per pound to dollar per pound. Since 1 dollar is worth 1.37 baht, we can divide the price in baht per pound by the exchange rate.
2.73 baht/lb / 1.37 baht/$ = 1.99 $/lb
Therefore, the price of the eggplants in dollar per pound is 1.99 $/lb.
To find the price of the eggplants in dollars per pound, we need to convert the price from baht per kilogram to dollars per pound.
First, let's convert the price from baht per kilogram to baht per pound. Since there are 2.20462 pounds in a kilogram, we can use this conversion factor:
Baht per pound = (Baht per kilogram) / (Pounds per kilogram)
Baht per pound = 1.24 baht / 2.20462 pounds
Now, let's convert the price from baht per pound to dollars per pound. We can use the exchange rate of 1 dollar = 1.37 baht:
Dollars per pound = (Baht per pound) / (Baht per dollar)
Dollars per pound = (1.24 baht / 2.20462 pounds) / 1.37 baht per dollar
Now, let's simplify and calculate the final result:
Dollars per pound ≈ (1.24 / 2.20462) / 1.37
Calculating this expression, we find:
Dollars per pound ≈ 0.538
Therefore, the price of the eggplants in dollars per pound is approximately $0.538.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the price of eggplants from baht per kilogram to dollars per pound.
Here are the steps to solve the problem:
Step 1: Convert the price from baht per kilogram to baht per pound
Since we want to convert to dollars per pound, we first need to convert the price from baht per kilogram to baht per pound. To do this, we need to know the conversion factor between kilograms and pounds. There are 2.20462 pounds in a kilogram.
So, in baht per pound, the price of eggplants would be (1.24 baht per kilogram) / (2.20462 pounds per kilogram).
Step 2: Convert the price from baht per pound to dollars per pound
To convert from baht to dollars, we need to use the exchange rate, which is given as 1 dollar = 1.37 baht.
To convert the price from baht per pound to dollars per pound, we divide the price (in baht per pound) by the exchange rate (1.37 baht per dollar).
Therefore, the price of eggplants in dollars per pound would be (price in baht per pound) / (exchange rate - baht per dollar).
Let's calculate the solution:
Price in baht per pound = (1.24 baht per kilogram) / (2.20462 pounds per kilogram) = 0.5613 baht per pound
Price in dollars per pound = (0.5613 baht per pound) / (1.37 baht per dollar) = 0.4094 dollars per pound
So, the price of the eggplants in dollars per pound is approximately 0.4094 dollars per pound.
