Question

Yuki bought a pound of confetti for \$12$12. What is the price, in dollars, per ounce of confetti? There are 1616 ounces in 11 pound.

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Yuki bought a pound of confetti for $12.

To find the price of per ounce of confetti, we will divide the total price of 1 pound confetti by number of ounces in 1 pound.

1 pound = 16 ounces.    

Let us divide 12 by 16 to find the price of confetti per ounce.

$\text{Price of per ounce confetti}=\frac{12}{16}$

$\text{Price of per ounce confetti}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\text{Price of per ounce confetti}=0.75$

Therefore, the price of per ounce confetti is $0.75.
