Alana buys 3 pounds of potatoes for $2.82. What is the unit price of the potatoes?
A. $9.40 per pound
B. $8.46 per pound
C. $1.41 per pound
D. $0.94 per pound

D. $0.94 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much each potato costs, we have to do 2.82/3

This is equal to $0.94, so $0.94 per pound!

Check:

With each potato being $0.94 ( according to my calculations ), 3 potatoes should be $2.82. So, $0.94 * 3 should be equal to $2.82.

3 * 0.94 = 2.82       Correct!

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
