HOW DO I DO THIS

Question

If a dozen packages of seeds cost $80.64 what is the average cost per package

Pete $11.52 receipts that were priced at three packages for 288 how many packages did he buy

25.25 is written how as a fraction

What is a number that is the same distance from zero on a number line

Answer 1

Hi Maleeha,

 

Let's consider each problem in turn:

 

Problem #1 (avg. cost per pkg.):

    $80.64 / 12 pkgs. (1 doz. = 12 pkgs.)

    avg. cost per pkg. = $6.72

 

Problem #2 (# of pkgs.):

    ($11.52 / 2.88) x 3 (3 pkgs. = $2.88)

    # of pkgs. = 4 x 3 = 12

 

Problem #3 (express decimal as fraction):

    25.25 = 25 1/4 (25/100 = 1/4)

    25 1/4 = (25 x 4 + 1) / 4 (convert to fraction)

    25 1/4 (mixed #) = 101/4 (improper fraction)

 

Problem #4 (number line):

    0 (0 will ALWAYS be 0 units away from 0)

 

Thanks for submitting these questions and glad to have been of help.

 

God bless, Jordan.
