In this case, we are given a price for a certain amount of grapes and asked to find the price <strong>per one pound<\/strong> \u2014 that is, the cost of one pound of grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are told that 3 \u00bc pounds of grapes cost $6.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Convert the Mixed Number<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, convert the mixed number 3 \u00bc to an improper fraction or a decimal for easier calculations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>314=1343\\frac{1}{4} = \\frac{13}{4} or 3.25<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Set Up the Unit Rate Formula<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find the <strong>unit rate<\/strong>, divide the total cost by the number of pounds: Unit&nbsp;Rate=$6.503.25&nbsp;pounds=6.503.25\\text{Unit Rate} = \\frac{\\$6.50}{3.25 \\text{ pounds}} = \\frac{6.50}{3.25}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Perform the Division<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6.503.25=2.00\\frac{6.50}{3.25} = 2.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the unit rate is <strong>$2.00 per pound<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Interpret the Result<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that each pound of grapes costs $2.00. If you were to buy just 1 pound, you would pay $2.00. Buying 3.25 pounds at $2.00 per pound gives: 3.25\u00d72.00=$6.503.25 \\times 2.00 = \\$6.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This confirms our calculation is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why This Matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding unit rates is important in real-life situations like grocery shopping, comparing prices, or budgeting. By converting to a unit rate, you can easily compare prices across different quantities or brands to make informed decisions. In this example, knowing the grapes cost $2.00 per pound lets you compare it to other stores or decide how much to buy within your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner6-68.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226936\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unit rate for $6.50 for 3 1\/4 pounds of grapesUnit rate for $6.50 for 3 1\/4 pounds of grapes The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Correct Answer: The unit rate is $2.00 per pound.
