Answer:
$1.55
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, we know that there are 16 ounces in one pound. Since Mrs. Jackson purchased 5 pounds, we need to multiply the amount of ounces in one pound by 5.
16 × 5 = 80
Now that is out of the way, we need to find out how many meals she could have by using 8 ounces of the meat each day.
80 × 8 = 10
Now we divide the amount of meals with the cost of the ground beef.
12.40 ÷ 8 = 1.55
Answer: It cost $1.55 for ground beef per meal
