Question

The price of grapes at the grocery store is $1.44 per pound. There are approximately 0.45 kilograms in a pound. To the nearest cent, what is the price of grapes in dollars per kilogram?

Answer 1

1 lb / 0.45 = 2.22

 so approximately 2.22 kilograms per pound

 divide price per pound by kilometers per pound

1.44 / 2.22 = 0.648

 round to 0.65, so it costs $0.65 per kilogram
