per cubic inch. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth place.
(480 is the volume)

Answer 1

To find the price per cubic inch, you need to divide the total cost by the volume in cubic inches. The formula to use is:

\[
\text{Price per cubic inch} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Volume}}
\]

In this case, the total cost of the cereal is $6.28 and the volume is 480 cubic inches. Plugging in the numbers:

\[
\text{Price per cubic inch} = \frac{6.28}{480}
\]

Now, perform the division:

\[
\text{Price per cubic inch} = 0.0130833
\]

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth place, we get:

\[
\text{Price per cubic inch} \approx 0.01
\]

Therefore, the price per cubic inch is **$0.01**.
