Sandra bought 4 pounds of sweet potatoes for $5.60. What is the cost per pound of the sweet potatoes?

Answer 1

To find the cost per pound, divide the total cost by the number of pounds:

$5.60/4 pounds = $1.40/pound

The cost per pound of the sweet potatoes is $1.40.

Answer 2

A bakery uses ounces of icing for every of a cake. What is the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake?

Answer 3

To find the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake, divide the total ounces of icing by the number of cakes.

Let's say the bakery uses "x" ounces of icing for every "y" of a cake.

The unit rate in ounces of icing per cake is calculated as follows:

x ounces / y cake = x/y ounces/cake

Therefore, the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake is x/y ounces/cake.

Answer 4

Can you use numerals and fractions?

Answer 5

Certainly! Let's use numerals and fractions to represent the problem.

If the bakery uses 8 ounces of icing for every 2/3 of a cake, we can calculate the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake.

The unit rate in ounces of icing per cake is:

8 ounces / (2/3) of a cake

To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:

8 ounces * (3/2) cakes

Multiplying 8 ounces by 3/2 gives us:

24/2 = 12 ounces

Therefore, the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake is 12 ounces.

Answer 6

10 3/5 times 1/4

Answer 7

To find the product of 10 3/5 and 1/4, we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

10 3/5 can be written as 53/5.

Now we can multiply:

(53/5) * (1/4) = (53 * 1) / (5 * 4) = 53/20

Therefore, 10 3/5 times 1/4 is equal to 53/20.

Answer 8

can you simplify it?

Answer 9

To simplify 53/20, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 1.

53/20 cannot be reduced any further, so the simplified form of 53/20 is still 53/20.
