The price of grapes at the grocery store is $1.44 per pound. There are approximately 0.45 kilograms in a pound. To the nearest cent, what is the price of grapes in dollars per kilogram? $0.65 per kilogram
$0.99 per kilogram
$1.89 per kilogram
$3.20 per kilogram

$3.20 / kg

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.44 / pound

so, this is normed to 1 pound = 0.45 kg.

now we want to transform that to have 1 kg as the norming unit.

for this we need to multiply the top and the bottom of the ratio with the same number, so that the value of the ratio remains unchanged, but that the bottom turns into 1 kg.

so, what do we need to turn 0.45 into 1 ?

0.45 × x = 1

x = 1/0.45 = 1/1 / 45/100 = 100/45 = 20/9 = 2.22222...

since we need to multiply top and bottom with the same factor, we get

(1.44/0.45) × (2.222222/2.222222) =

(1.44 × 2.222222) / (0.45×2.222222) =

(1.44 × 2.222222) / 1kg = $3.20 / kg

Step-by-step explanation: On Edge

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
