Question

A store sells 10 pounds of horse feed for $1.60. Malia wants to know how much horse feed she can buy at that rate. How many pounds of horse feed can Malia buy for $1?

Answer 1

Malia can buy 6.25 pounds of horse feed for $1 at the given rate.

The cost of 1 pound of horse feed is $1.60 / 10 pounds = $0.16.

So, Malia can buy $1 / $0.16 = 6.25 pounds of horse feed for $1.

• When a store sells 10 pounds of horse feed for $1.60, it means that each pound of horse feed costs $1.60 / 10 pounds = $0.16.
• This means that if Malia wants to buy horse feed, she will have to pay $0.16 for each pound of horse feed.

• So, if Malia wants to buy horse feed for $1, she can divide $1 by the cost per pound, which is $0.16.
• This gives her $1 / $0.16 = 6.25 pounds of horse feed for $1.

Therefore, Malia can buy 6.25 pounds of horse feed for $1 at the given rate.
