a package of ground beef cost 6.98. the price per pound is 3.86. how many pounds of ground beef are in the package? round to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

Price of whole beef= 6.98
Price of one pound= 3.86
Total pounds in that beef= 6.98/3.86
= 1.808 pounds
so approximately it contains 1.81 pounds or 2 pounds of beef

Price per pound = 3.86

A cost 3.86 weighs 1 pound

A cost of1 will weigh:          (1/3.86) pound

Cost of 6.98 will weigh:            (1/3.86)*6.98

                                                   =  6.98/3.86 = 1.8083

So a cost of 6.98 weighs ≈ 1.81 pounds, to the nearest hundredth

I hope this helps.
