Josiah bought some deli meat that cost $7.99 a pound. If he bought 1 3/8 pounds, how much did he spend? Round to the nearest cent.
To find out how much Josiah spent, you multiply the price per pound by the weight he bought: $7.99/pound * 1 3/8 pounds = $<<7.99*1.375=10.99>>10.99. Answer: \boxed{10.99}.
To calculate how much Josiah spent on deli meat, multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds he bought:
Cost per pound: $7.99
Number of pounds: 1 3/8
First, we need to convert 1 3/8 to an improper fraction. The improper fraction for 1 3/8 is (8*1 + 3) / 8 = 11/8.
Now, multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds:
$7.99 * 11/8 = $87.89/8 = $10.98625
Rounding this to the nearest cent, Josiah spent approximately $10.99 on the deli meat.
To calculate how much Josiah spent, we'll multiply the weight of the deli meat by its cost per pound.
First, let's convert 1 3/8 pounds into a decimal. We can do this by adding the whole number part (1) to the fraction (3/8). We have:
1 + 3/8 = 8/8 + 3/8 = 11/8
Therefore, Josiah bought 11/8 pounds of deli meat.
Next, we'll multiply the pounds of deli meat (11/8) by the cost per pound ($7.99) to find the total cost. Let's do the calculation:
(11/8) * $7.99 ≈ $10.98625
Rounding to the nearest cent, we find that Josiah spent approximately $10.99 on the deli meat.
