2) diya pays $6 for 3 ounces of cereal. how much does diya pay per ounce?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the total cost and total ounces
Total cost = $6, Total ounces = 9 ounces.
Step2: Calculate cost per ounce
To find the cost per ounce, we divide the total cost by the total number of ounces. So, cost per ounce = $\frac{6}{9}$. Simplify the fraction: $\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.67$ (rounded to two decimal places).
Answer:
Diya pays $\frac{2}{3}$ dollars (or approximately $0.67$ dollars) per ounce.
