A bag of flour weighs 2.5 kilograms and costs $5. What is the unit price of flour?
\

To find the unit price of the flour, we need to divide the total cost by the total weight.

Given:
- Total weight of the flour = 2.5 kilograms
- Total cost of the flour = $5

The unit price is calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Weight}} = \frac{5 \text{ dollars}}{2.5 \text{ kilograms}}
\]

Now, perform the division:
\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{5}{2.5} = 2 \text{ dollars per kilogram}
\]

Therefore, the unit price of the flour is $2 per kilogram.
