In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $4.96 per pound ( 4.96 dollars/lb d o l l a r s / l b ). What is the cost per ounce?

Cost per ounce= $0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $4.96 per pound.

We know that a pound is the equivalent of 16 ounces. All we have to do is divide the cost per pound.

Cost per ounce= cost per pound/16

Cost per ounce= 4.96/16

Cost per ounce= $0.31

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
