Question

Rhonda bought 1 3/5 pounds of peaches for $0.60 at 3 and 1/2 pounds of apples for $1.75 which fruit cost more per pound

Answer 1

`1 (3)/(5) lbs = (8)/(5) lbs`

`3 (1)/(2) lbs = (7)/(2) lbs`

Peaches =

`0.6 / (8)/(5) \\ = 0.6 * (5)/(8) \\ = 0.375`

Apples =

`1.75 / (7)/(2) \\ = 1.75 * (2)/(7) \\ = 0.5`

Answer: Apples cost more per pound.

Hope this helps. - M
