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