Answer :

Alright, let's solve this problem step-by-step.

1. Convert the mixed fraction price per rune into a single fraction:

Given: [tex]\( \frac{16}{16} \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex]

The mixed fraction can be interpreted as [tex]\(16 + \frac{3}{4}\)[/tex]. To find the cost per rune, we need to divide this amount by 16.

[tex]\[ \frac{16 + \frac{3}{4}}{16} \][/tex]

[tex]\(16 + \frac{3}{4}\)[/tex] is equal to [tex]\(16.75\)[/tex].

Then, the cost per rune can be found by dividing 16.75 by 16:

[tex]\[ 16.75 / 16 = 1.046875 \][/tex]

So, the cost of milk per rune is [tex]\(1.046875\)[/tex].

2. Convert the mixed fraction quantity of milk into a single fraction:

Given: [tex]\(6 \frac{2}{6}\)[/tex]

The mixed fraction can be interpreted as [tex]\(6 + \frac{2}{6}\)[/tex]. To simplify this:

[tex]\[ 6 + \frac{2}{6} = 6 + 0.3333333333333333 \approx 6.333333333333333 \][/tex]

So, the amount of milk in runes is [tex]\(6.333333333333333\)[/tex].

3. Calculate the total cost:

Now we use both the cost per rune and the total quantity of milk to find the total cost:

[tex]\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost per rune} \times \text{Quantity of milk} \][/tex]

Substituting the values we have:

[tex]\[ \text{Total cost} = 1.046875 \times 6.333333333333333 \][/tex]

By performing the multiplication:

[tex]\[ \text{Total cost} \approx 6.630208333333333 \][/tex]

So, the cost of [tex]\(6 \frac{2}{6}\)[/tex] runes of milk is approximately [tex]\(6.630208333333333\)[/tex] runes.
