Question

What is the cost of 3 3/4 pounds of salmon at 14.80 per pound

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

First we will somplify 3 * 3/4:

`3(3)/(4)=(15)/(4)`

And the cost of 15/4 of pounds will be:

`(15)/(4)\cdot14.8=(222)/(4)=55.5`

Finally we obtain that the cosr of 3 3/4 pounds of salmon at 14.80 per pound is equal to $55.5.
