Answer:
Explanation:
5 1/6 pounds of graphs are bought for $7.75, meaning 1 pound costs
[tex]\frac{7.75\text{ dollars}}{5\frac{1}{6}lb}[/tex]And we need to compute the division above.
The first step is to convert the mixed number 5 1/6 into an improper fraction.
Now, it is true that
[tex]5\frac{1}{6}=5+\frac{1}{6}[/tex]multiplying 5 by 6/6 gives
[tex]5\cdot\frac{6}{6}+\frac{1}{6}[/tex][tex]\frac{30}{6}+\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
