Xavier bought 4 pounds of sweet potatoes for $6.32. What is the cost per pound of the sweet potatoes?

1.58

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is divide 6.32 by 4 giving you 1.58

Each pound costed $1.58

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you are going to need to divide the cost which is  6.32 by number of sweet potatoes 4. Dividing the total by 4 allows you to break apart the values to show the cost of each individual pound of sweet potatoes.

Equation

6.32 divided by 4 =1.58.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
