Question

Pure beeswax has a density of 0.555 ounce per cubic inch. An online company sells pure beeswax at a price of $ 8.00 per ounce. What is the selling price, in dollars per cubic inch, for pure beeswax purchased from this company?

College Board · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 4.44,4.440. The correct answer is 4.44 . The selling price, in dollars per cubic inch, is found by multiplying the density, in ounces per cubic inch, by the unit price, in dollars per ounce: ((0.555 ounce)/(1 cubic inch)) × ((8 dollars)/(1 ounce)) yields (4.44 dollars)/(1 cubic inch) . Thus, the selling price, in dollars per cubic inch, is 4.44 . Note that 4.44 and 4.440 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
