Question

If cheese is $4.40 per kilogram, what should i pay for 200 grams

Answer 1

1 kg is 1,000 grams.


200 grams are 1/5 of 1000 grams, that is 1/5 of 1 kg.

Thus 200 g= 1/5 kg = 0.2 kg.



      1 kg of cheese is $4.40, 

so 0.2 kg of cheese is $\displaystyle{ \frac{0.2kg \cdot \ 4.40}{1kg}}=4.40 \cdot0.2 \ = 0.88$


Answer: $0.88

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost is $0.88 per 200 grams

Explanation:

First, we will need to convert the kilograms into grams:

We know that:

1 kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams

We are given that:

The cost per 1 kilogram is $4.4

This means that:

The cost is $4.4 for 1000 grams

To know the cost of 200 grams, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:

1000 grams ................> $4.4

200 grams ................> ??

Cost = $\frac{200*4.4}{1000}$ = $0.88 per 200 grams

Hope this helps :)
