Answer:
[tex]1\ pound[/tex] of the chicken will costs $[tex]4.8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given price of [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds of chicken breast for $[tex]15.60[/tex].
We need to find the price per pound of the chicken.
First we will simplify the fraction that is [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]3\frac{1}{4}=\frac{12+1}{4}\\\\=\frac{13}{4}=3.25[/tex]
So, [tex]3.25\ pounds[/tex] of chicken costs $[tex]15.60[/tex]
Now, [tex]1\ pound[/tex] of the chicken will costs [tex]\frac{15.60}{3.25}=4.8[/tex]
So, [tex]1\ pound[/tex] of the chicken will costs $[tex]4.8[/tex]
