We have to find how many pounds of ground beef are in the package and to round that number to the nearest hundredth. We know that a package costs $6.98 and that the price per pound is $3.86. We will divide the cost of a package by the price per pound. 6.98 : 3.86 = 1.80829. When we round it to the nearest hundredth it is 1.81. Answer: B ) 1.81.
Answer:
B. 1.81 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been a package of ground beef costs $6.98. The price per pound is $3.86.
To find the number of pounds of ground beef in the package we will divide the cost of package by cost of each pound of ground beef.
[tex]\text{The number of pounds of ground beef in the package}=\frac{\$6.98}{\$3.86}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The number of pounds of ground beef in the package}=1.808290155[/tex]
Upon rounding our answer to nearest hundredth we will get,
[tex]\text{The number of pounds of ground beef in the package}\approx 1.81[/tex]
Therefore, there were 1.81 pounds of ground beef in the package and option B is the correct choice.
