Answer 1

Answer:

$2.93/pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Elijah bought $3\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of ground hamburger meat for $11.00

The cost of $3\frac{3}{4}$ pounds or $\frac{15}{4}$ pounds of ground hamburger meat = $11.00

The cost of 1 pound of ground hamburger meat = $\frac{11}{\frac{15}{4}}$

                                                                              = $\frac{11\times 4}{15}$

                                                                              = $\frac{44}{15}$

                                                                              = $2.93333 ≈ $2.93

The cost of 1 pound of ground hamburger meat would $2.93.

Answer 2

3 3/4 = 0.75

11.00 - 0.75 = 10.25

10.25 is the answer
