Answer:
$9.1 per kg of sliced salami.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are supposed to find unit rate for the given scenario.
Hailey paid $13 dollars for 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami.
To find unit rate, we will divide total price by total weight.
[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\$13\div 1\frac{3}{7}\text{ kg}[/tex]
Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction:
[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\$13\div \frac{10}{7}\text{ kg}[/tex]
Convert to division problem by flipping the fraction as:
[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\$13\times\frac{7}{10}\text{ kg}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\$13\times7}{10\text{ kg}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\$91}{10\text{ kg}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\$9.1}{\text{ kg}}[/tex]
Therefore, unit rate is $9.1 per kg of sliced salami.
