You start by changing the fraction into a decimal.
4.5 lb. of ground beef= 16.11
6.25 lb. of ground turkey= 18.50
Next, you divide the amount they cost by the pounds to get the price per pound.
16.11÷4.5= 3.58
18.50÷6.25= 2.96
So, a pound of beef is $3.58, and a pound of turkey is $2.96.
The turkey is 62 cents less than the beef per pound.
That means the turkey is a better buy! :)
(Have a good day! :))
