Question

If 3 1/2 pounds of bananas cost $1.96 how much would one pound cost

Answer 1

3 1/2 ib = $1,96

`(7)/(2) * (2)/(7) ib = (196)/(100) * (2)/(7) \\ \\ 1ib = (28)/(100) * (2)/(1) \\ \\ 1ib = (56)/(100) = 0,56`

Answer 1 pound of bananas costs $0.56

Answer 2

It would simply be 1.96 divided by 3.5. It would be 56 cents per pound.
