Question

A store has apples on sale for three dollars for 2 pounds how many pounds of apples can you buy for nine dollars if an apple is approximately 5 ounces how many apples can you buy for nine dollars explain your reasoning

Answer 1

you can buy 6pounds cuz they are three dollars a pound i hope that helps 

Answer 2

Since 2 pounds is $3 and you have $9, you would do:

, x= # of pounds of apples

You do cross multiplication to get:

x=6

1 lb= 16 oz

So to get the number of ounces you can buy for $9.

Then divide 96 by 5, so that is ABOUT 19 APPLES.
