Question

Hailey paid $13 dollars for 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami.

Answer 1

Is the question how much it cost per kg?

If so, divide $13 by 1 3/7 kg.

13/(1 3/7) = 13/(10/7) = 13 * 7/10 = 91/10 = 9 1/10

Answer is 9 1/10 dollars per kg.
(Assuming I guessed your question correctly.)

Answer 2

Answer:

$9.1 per kg of sliced salami.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find unit rate for the given scenario.

Hailey paid $13 dollars for 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami.

To find unit rate, we will divide total price by total weight.

$\text{Unit rate}=\ 13\div 1\frac{3}{7}\text{ kg}$

Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction:

$\text{Unit rate}=\ 13\div \frac{10}{7}\text{ kg}$

Convert to division problem by flipping the fraction as:

$\text{Unit rate}=\ 13\times\frac{7}{10}\text{ kg}$

$\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\ 13\times7}{10\text{ kg}}$

$\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\ 91}{10\text{ kg}}$

$\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\ 9.1}{\text{ kg}}$

Therefore, unit rate is $9.1 per kg of sliced salami.
