Question

If 3 1/2 pounds of bananas cost $.98, how much would one pound cost?

Answer 1

98/3.5=28 cents ratio and proportion 3.5/98=1/x cross multiply x= 28 cents

Answer 2

The way you would find how much one pound costs is divide .98 by 3 1/2. 3 1/2 in decimal form is 3.5 so .98 ÷ 3.5 = .28

So one pound of bananas would cost $0.28

Hope that helped!
