Work Step by Step
2.7 pounds of apple for 6.18 dollars
Cost per pound = $6.18\div2.7$
Let's find Estimate:
6.18 Rounds to 6
2.7 Rounds to 3
$6\div3$=2 Dollars
Exact:
$6.18\div2.7$
= $\frac{618}{100}\div\frac{27}{10}$
= $\frac{618}{100}\times\frac{10}{27}$ (divisions of fractions is the multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction)
= $\frac{206}{10}\times\frac{1}{9}$
= $\frac{206}{90}$
= 2.288..
$\approx$ 2.29 dollars
