Answer:
[tex]Rate = \$1.76/kg[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{1}{16}kg[/tex] of nails costs [tex]\$ \frac{11}{100}[/tex]
Required
Determine the rate
The rate, in this case, will be calculated as:
[tex]Rate = \frac{amount}{weight}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{\frac{11}{100}}{\frac{1}{16}}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]Rate = \frac{11}{100}/\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{11}{100} * 16[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{176}{100}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \$1.76/kg[/tex]
