Question

Hamburger sells for 3 pounds for $6. If Samantha buys 10 pounds of hamburger, how much will she pay

Answer 1

6/3 = 2 (You divide 6 by 3 because you want to figure out how much one pound is)


2 * 10 = 20


Samantha will pay $20

Answer 2

The correct answer is: $20

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pounds of hamburger is $6.

1 pound of hamburger is
`(\textdollar 6)/(3) = \textdollar 2`

Now,

10 pounds of hamburger is
`\textdollar 2 * 10 = \textdollar 20`

Hence the correct answer is $20.
