Question

4 pound basket of apples for $5.60. Each apple is 4 ounces. What is the price per apple?

Answer 1

We can solve this by converting units.

Explanation:

`($5.60) / (4" pounds") * (1" pound")/(16" ounces") * (4" ounces")/("apple")`

`($5.60) / (cancel4cancel" pounds") * (1cancel" pound")/(16cancel" ounces") * (cancel4cancel" ounces")/("apple")`

`($5.60)/(16" apples")`

Now simplify for the cost per 1 apple!
