Question

A grocery store sells Swiss cheese for $5.90 a pound. To the nearest cent what is the cost oer ounce if Swiss cheese? round you answer to the nearest cent and show your work. PLZ HELP ME

Answer 1

To get the answer, you would do 5.90 divided by 16 because there is 16 ounces in a pound. so for each ounce, you would be paying $.37

(without rounding, the actual answer would be .36875)<span />

Answer 2

There are 16 ounces in a pound, so since they are 5.9 dollars per pound, you would divide 5.9 by 16.
After doing this you get 0.36875. 
Rounding to the cent you get $0.37 per ounce.

i hope this helps (;
