Question

Yuki bought a pound of confetti for $12. What is the price, in dollars, per ounce of confetti? There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

Answer 1

Answer: Yuki's answer is in the question.

Explanation:

It's simple, just do $12 per pound divided by 16 ounces per pound = $0.75 per ounce.

Answer 2

The price is $0.75 per ounce

Explanation:

we have

`12(\$)/(lb)`

Remember that

`1\ lb=16\ oz`

Convert $/lb to $/oz

`12(\$)/(lb)=12((1)/(16))=0.75(\$)/(oz)`
