Question

Eric bought 8 pounds of flour for $5. How many pounds of flour did he get per dollar? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

8 pounds of flour = 5 dollars

1 pound of flour = x

Cross multiply

8x = 1*5 Divide by 8

8x/8 = 5/8

5/8 = 0.625

Therefore x = 0.625 dollars will buy 1 pound of flour.

Rounded x = 0.63
