Question

Can anyone help me please and explain this: Write "60 pounds for $6.60" as a unit rate per ounce to the nearest tenth. 1 pound= 16 ounces A: 1 lb/176 cents B: 3 lb/ 33 cents C: 1 lb/ 3.8 cents D: 1 lb/ 0.7 cents

Answer 1

1 pound = 16 ounces
so 60 pounds = 60 x 16 = 960 ounces.
$6.60/960 =0.006875 per ounce.
0.006875 x 16 ounces = 0.11 (11 cents per pound)

3 pounds x 0.11= 33 cents 

answer is B
