Sixth Grade
Assignment #1 - Kitchen Math - Buying Produce. In this assignment the students are practicing multiplying and dividing decimal numbers, rounding decimals, and conversions. There are a few tricky bits with the conversions.
If you are given the cost per pound and the number of pounds wanted, it's just multiplication. Remember to move the decimal over the number of times a decimal is in the answer and round if you have to. See example 1 in the picture below.
If you are given the cost per kilogram and the number of pounds wanted, you first have to find the cost per pound. Since there are 2.2 kg in a pound, you can divide the price by 2.2. Remember, if it doesn't divide evenly, and I don't think any of them do, you will have to divide to three places after the decimal and round to the nearest cent. See example 2 in the picture below.
