Question

C. 3 bananas cost $0.99. At this rate, how much do 5 bananas cost? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

The answer is $1.65

Answer 2

$1.65

Explanation:

You can get the cost of each banana by using the division operation. All you have to do is to divide $0.99 by 3.

• 0.99 ÷ 3 = $0.33

Each banana costs $0.33

Now that you know the cost of each banana, you may now get the cost of 5 bananas by using the multiplication operation. All you have to do is to multiply $0.33 by 5.

• 0.33 x 5 = $1.65

Therefore, 5 bananas cost $1.65.
