You buy rice at 71 cent a pound. one batch of fried rice requires 5 pounds of rice. how much does the rice for one batch cost

You need to multiply 5 by 71. Which is 355. You did this because for every pound of rice you got it cost 71 cents.

Your answer is 355cents so far but, we need to convert this to dollars.

There are 100 pennies in a dollar so we have 3 one-hundreds. And we have 55 cents left over.

This leaves us with $3.55
