Answer 2

Five pounds of peaches will cost $10.50.

Explanation:

First we have to find how much cost a pound of peaches, for this we have the price of two so this is:

`Price1pound=(4.20)/(2)`

Now that we have the price for one pound we can calculate the price of five pounds of peaches, this is:

`2.10*5=10.50`

Five pounds of peaches will cost $10.50.
