A deli sells a sandwich spread for 6.40 per pound. how much do you have to pay for 24 ounces of the spread

In the given question the most important part is convert ounce to pound and then the problem becomes easy. We already know

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

Then

24 ounce = 0.0625 * 24 pounds

= 1.5 pounds

Now let us focus on the problem in hand and the information's that are already given in the question.

The cost per pound of the sandwich sold by Deli = 6.40

Then

The cost of 1.5 pound of sandwich sold by Deli = 6.40 * 1.5

= 9.60

So the cost of 24 ounces of spread is 9.60.

Since it says per u should divide 6.40 : 24
