Question

Please help me I really need this for school to get a good grade on my report card ​

Answer 1

Answer: 0.29

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing that you need to know is that a ton equals 2,000 pounds. Therefore, 6,000 pounds of rocks cost $1,740. In order to solve the problem you need to divide $1,740 by 6,000. 1,740 / 6,000 = .29

Each pound cost $ 0.29. (29 cents)

Answer 2

Answer: $0.29 per pound

Explanation:

`(price)/(pound):\ (\$1,740)/(3\ tons)* (1\ ton)/(2,000\ pounds)=(\$1,740)/(6,000\ pounds)=\large \boxed{(\$0.29)/(1\ pound)}`
