∙ 12y agoTo compare the prices, we need to convert them to the same unit. Since there are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram, let's convert the 24p per pound to per kilogram. 24p per pound is approximately 10.91p per kilogram. Therefore, 40p per kilogram is cheaper than 24p per pound.
40p per kilo is cheaper, here is why, spend 40p on a kilo, 1 kilo = 2.2 pounds, so 40p would get you 2.2 pounds, that works out at just under 20p per pound.
1kg ~= 2.2lb (slightly over) 45p per 1/2 kg = 90 per kg 40p per lb ~= 88p per kg ⇒ 40p per pound is cheaper.
£1.00 = 100p ⇒ 40p as a fraction of £1.00 is 40p/100p = 2/5= 12
40p
Convert to the same units, then the fraction can be simplified: £1 = 100p → 40p/£1 = 40p/100p = 40/100 = 2/5
40p
5 pounds/ 1 pound = 5/1 in fraction
It is: 1/8 of 40p = 5p
40p/100p = 2/5 in fraction
That's 40p times 5.2 (£0.40) which £2.08 208p
In terms of money: 2/5 of £1 = 40p In terms of weight: 2/5 of 1lb = 62/5oz = 6.4oz
