Question

Can someone help? (Btw I suck @ cursive so yea...) 7 says Josephine buys candy. Candy costs 14.95 per pound. She buys 0.63 pounds of candy. How much does 0.63 pounds of candy cost?

Answer 1

For this case we have to, a pound of candies costs $14.95. Then, to know the cost of 0.63 pounds of candies we make a rule of three:

1lb -------------> $14.95

0.63 lb --------> x

Where "x" represents the cost of 0.63 pounds of candy.

`x = \frac {0.63 * 14.95} {1}\\x = 9.4185`

Thus, 0.63 pounds of candy cost $9.4185.

ANswer:

0.63 pounds of candy cost $9.4185.
