Answer 1

$22.10

Explanation:

This is simple multiplication.

1. It may help you to simplify the pound values. 4 and 1/2 is really 4.5, and 4 and 3/10 is really 4.3

2. We know what the cost is per pound, and we know how many pounds we have. We simply multiply.

4.5 pounds of yams * $3 per pound = 13.5

4.3 pounds of carrots * $2 per pound = 4.3*2 = 8.6

3. Add the values

13.5+8.6 = 22.1 = $22.10

Answer 2

$22.1

Explanation:

To solve this, you must multiply the amount of the items by its cost.

This is the amount of yams in decimal form:
`4(1)/(2)` = 4.5

This is the amount of carrots in decimal form:
`4(3)/(10)` = 4.3

4.5 * 3 = 13.5

4.3 * 2 = 8.6

Now we add them together to get the total cost.

13.5 + 8.6 = 22.1
