To calculate how much Rafael will pay for 1 3/8 pounds of salad, we need to know the price per pound at the salad bar. Since the price is not provided, I will guide you through the calculation using a hypothetical price per pound.
Let's assume the price per pound is \( P \) dollars.
Rafael is buying 1 3/8 pounds of salad, which can be converted to an improper fraction for easier calculation:
1 3/8 pounds is equal to \( \frac{11}{8} \) pounds (since \( 1 \times 8 + 3 = 11 \)).
To find out how much he will pay in total, multiply the price per pound (\( P \)) by the quantity he is buying:
\[ \text{Total Cost} = P \times \frac{11}{8} \]
Now, if you provide the price per pound, I can calculate the final amount for you.
