One kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters. What fractional part of a kilometer is 700 meters? Simplify your result?
A college bookstore ordered 425 copies of a textbook at a cost of $22,525. What was the cost to the store for an individual textbook?
700/1000 = 7/10
$22,525 / 425 = ?
To find the fractional part of a kilometer that is equivalent to 700 meters, divide 700 by 1000 (since there are 1000 meters in a kilometer).
So, the fractional part is 700/1000, which simplifies to 7/10. Therefore, 700 meters is equal to 7/10 of a kilometer.
Now, let's move on to the second question.
To find the cost to the college bookstore for an individual textbook, divide the total cost of the 425 copies by the number of copies.
So, $22,525 divided by 425 gives us $53. Therefore, the cost to the store for an individual textbook is $53.
