A can of worms for fishing costs $2.60. There are 20 worms in a can. What is the cost per worm? At this rate, how much would 26 worms cost?
An 11 ounce bag of candy cost $1.99. What is the cost per ounce, rounded to the nearest cent? What is the cost per pound, rounded to the nearest cent?
I'll do the first problem. You can do the second. I'll be glad to check it for you.
2.60/20 = $0.13 per worm
0.13 * 26 = $3.38 for 26 worms
you take 2.60 and take away the decimal pint to make it 260 then you divide 260 by 20 then put the decimal point in the answer as many spaces were in the original number XD
so it looks like 260/20=13 then it becomes 0.13
To find the cost per worm, you divide the total cost of the can by the number of worms in it. In this case, the cost of the can is $2.60 and there are 20 worms. So, you divide $2.60 by 20.
$2.60 ÷ 20 = $0.13
Therefore, the cost per worm is $0.13.
To calculate the cost of 26 worms at this rate, you multiply the cost per worm by the number of worms desired, which is 26.
$0.13 × 26 = $3.38
So, 26 worms would cost approximately $3.38.
Now let's move on to the second question about the bag of candy.
To find the cost per ounce, you divide the total cost of the bag by the number of ounces it contains. In this case, the cost of the bag is $1.99 and it weighs 11 ounces. So, you divide $1.99 by 11.
$1.99 ÷ 11 ≈ $0.18
Therefore, the cost per ounce is approximately $0.18.
To calculate the cost per pound, you need to convert the weight of the bag from ounces to pounds. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, you divide the weight in ounces by 16. The weight is 11 ounces, so you divide 11 by 16.
11 ÷ 16 ≈ 0.69
Therefore, the weight of the bag in pounds is approximately 0.69 pounds.
Now, to find the cost per pound, you divide the total cost of the bag by its weight in pounds.
$1.99 ÷ 0.69 ≈ $2.88
Therefore, the cost per pound is approximately $2.88, rounded to the nearest cent.
