Question

Your restaurant is running out of meat, so you plan on buying 1⁄4 ton of meat to be shipped at $0.60 per pound. How much will it cost for your meat to be shipped?

Answer 1

1/4 ton = 50
50 x .6 =
it would be 30 dollars

Answer 2

First you have to find out how many pounds in 1 ton . There is 2000 pounds in 1 ton. 1/4 of a ton is 500 pounds.
You have to multiply $0.60 * 500 = $300.00.
