Question

You are purchasing the ingredients for your first cooking project in culinary school. You are making a new shrimp dish. Shrimp cost six dollars per pound. Find the cost of three 2/3 pounds

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of three 2/3 pounds  is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

The cost of 1 pound of shrimp  = $6

Now, the dish requires the amount of shrimp = 2/3 pounds.

Here: 1 pound shrimp = $ 6

$\implies (\frac{2}{3} ) \textrm{pounds} = 6 \times (\frac{2}{3} ) = 4$

or, the cost of 2/3 pound  = $ 4

Hence, the cost of three 2/3 pounds  is $4.
