To calculate how much Josiah spent on deli meat, we can multiply the weight of the meat by the price per pound.
1 3/8 pounds can be written as:
1 + 3/8 = 1.375 pounds
Now, we can multiply the weight (1.375) with the price per pound ($7.99):

To calculate how much Josiah spent on deli meat, we need to multiply the cost per pound by the amount of deli meat he bought.
First, let's convert the mixed number 1 3/8 into an improper fraction.
1 3/8 = (8 * 1 + 3) / 8 = 11/8
Now, we can calculate the total cost:
Total cost = Cost per pound * Amount of deli meat
= $7.99 * 11/8
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. So, multiplying 7.99 and 11/8:
Total cost = $7.99 * 11/8
= $87.89/8
To round the answer to the nearest cent, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
Total cost = $87.89 ÷ 8
= $10.98625
Rounding this to the nearest cent, we get:
Total cost ≈ $10.99
Therefore, Josiah spent approximately $10.99 on deli meat.
