Problem Solving with Units Consider the following exam question and student solution. Determine whether the solution is correct. If it is notcorrect, write a note to the student explaining why it is wrong and give a correct solution. Examquestion: You can buy a 48-pound bag of flour for $8 or you can buy a 1-pound bag for $0.41. Compare the per pound cost for the large and small bags. Student solution: The large bag price is 48÷$8 =$6.00 per pound, which is much more than the 41¢ per pound price of the small bag. Select the correct choice below and if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The student's solution is correct. B. The student's solution is incorrect. The student's division gives an answer with units of pounds per dollar, but he should seek an answer in dollars per pound. The answer in dollars per pound is ------$ per pound, which is less than the $0.41 per pound for the smaller bag. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) C. The student's solution is incorrect. The student should have converted 41¢ per pound to dollars per pound before writing the exam solution. He should have converted 41¢ cents per pound to --------$ per pound. (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
