Question

You buy halibut at $25 per pound.one portion of seared halibut requires 6 ounces of halibut.how much does the halibut for one portion cost ?

Answer 1

$9.38

Explanation:

halibut is measured in pounds and a portion is measured in ounces

in order to determine the cost, the two units have to be comparable. So, ounces have to be converted to pounds

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

6 ounces = 0.0625 x 6 = 0.375 pounds

0.375 pounds would cost 0.375 pounds x 25 pounds = $9.38
