How much would 1 teaspoon of paprika cost if 1 cup of paprika weighs 4 ounces and 1 pound of paprika costs $10.60?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 pound = 16 ounces
1 cup = 4 ounces = 4*(1/16) pounds = (1/4) pounds
1 cup = 48 teaspoons
48 teaspoons = (1/4) pounds
1 teaspoon = 1/(4*48) pounds thus 1 teaspoon will cost 10.60(1/(4*48)) = $0.0552 = 5.52 cents
