Question

Suppose the postal service charge is $10.30 per pound on a package shipped to England what is this rate in dollars per ounce

Answer 1

Answer: The required rate = 0.64 per pounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Postal service charge = $10.30 per pound.

As we know,  1 pound = 16 ounces.

So,  Postal service charge = $10.30 per 16 ounces.

Postal service charge$=\ \dfrac{10.30}{16}\ \text{ per ounce}$

$\approx 0.64\text{ per ounce}$

Hence, the required rate = 0.64 per pounce.
