To ﬁnd the cost per ounce, ﬁrst convert 3.4 pounds to ounces. Because there are 16 ounces in a pound, 3.4 pounds is 3.4(16) = 54.4 ounces. To ﬁnd cost per ounce, divide the cost in dollars by the number of ounces, or $4.95/54.4 ounces = $0.09 per ounce.

Similar ACT Doubts

Directions:In the passages that follow, some words and phrases are underlined and numbered. In the answer column, you will ﬁnd alternatives for the words and phrases that are underlined. If you think that the original version is best, choose “NO CHANGE,”. You will also ﬁnd questions about a particular section of the passage, or about the entire passage. These questions will be identiﬁed either by an underlined portion or by a number in a box. Look for the answer that clearly expresses the idea, is consistent with the style and tone of the passage, and makes the correct use of standard written English. Read the passage through once before answering the questions. For some questions, you should read beyond the indicated portion before you answer.PassageA Modern BlacksmithYou will probably never find his name in a history book, but to this day, Walker Lee continues to contribute to (1)America heritage. Walker Lee is an old-fashioned, modern-16 day blacksmith (2)who still practices the fine art of manipulating metal over a hot fire. In his words, “Blacksmithing is no dying art!”Walker Lee (3)had began his career in hand-forged ironwork at the age of 30. The idea of creating an object out of (4)iron, a most intractable material, appealed to him. He started on this new venture by collecting and reading every book he could find that described the process of blacksmithing: its history, its practical and decorative uses, and the equipment needed to establish and outfit his own smithy. During the course of his research, Lee discovered a tool necessary for the success of any blacksmith: the anvil, a heavy block of iron or steel upon which the blacksmith hammered and shaped the malleable metal.Lee bought his first anvil from 84-year-old Hurley Alford Templeton of Philadelphia, (5)lugging it home to Michigan in the back of a 4-H county bus. This anvil weighed 100 pounds, about the minimum size Walker Lee needed to (6) get started in his craft.Lee’s first anvil cost him $100, and four months later, he paid $75 for an additional implement—a vice—from Cornell University in New York. This important tool also made (7)its way back to Michigan in the back of Lee’s 4-H bus.(8)Lee had spent the summer carting 4-H groups out from Michigan to the east coast forvarious county fairs and expositions.(9)Once Lee obtained his first portable forge, he was ready to build his blacksmith shop, commonly referred to as a “smithy.” In the interest of economy, he constructed this shop out of inexpensive oak planks and tarpaper. It was a crude little shack (10) but stood for only nine years. Lee, who by then was completely hooked on blacksmithing, replaced his first shop with a finer one made of more expensive wood; this shop also had glass windows, a definite improvement over Lee’s original “smithy.”1.The very first object Lee forged was a (11) long, pointed Hudson Bay dagger.2.Many people refer to this type of knife as a “dag.”3.As he recalls that event he says, “From the minute I first saw the thing take shape, I was hooked ... still am. There’s an element of magic in it to me. You heat it up and pound it with a hammer and it goes where you want it to go.”4.Years (12)later at a family event Lee, discovered that his Italian ancestors were accomplished coppersmiths.5.During the gathering, Lee’s great uncle Johnny (13)was proclaiming that Lee’s propensity for blacksmithing was “in the blood” as he happily presented Lee with a new 125-pound anvil. (14)As an outside observer (15) watches Walker Lee bending and shaping a hot metal rod into some recognizable form, it is difficult to discern the origin of the magic Lee spoke of; is it in the glowing, orange steel or in Walker himself?Q.
