Question

Jayson went to the market he bought 1 1/2 pounds of salami for 3.75

Answer 1

It seems like you have a scenario involving Jayson buying salami. If you need help calculating the price per pound or any other related question, let me know how I can assist you!

To find the price per pound for the salami, you can divide the total cost by the weight in pounds.

Here's how to do that:

1. Convert 1 1/2 pounds to an improper fraction:
\( 1 1/2 = \frac{3}{2} \) pounds

2. Divide the total cost by the weight:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Weight}} = \frac{3.75}{\frac{3}{2}}
\]
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = 3.75 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3.75 \times 2}{3} = \frac{7.5}{3} = 2.50
\]

So, the price per pound of the salami is $2.50. Let me know if you need further assistance!
