Max bought 2 3/4 pounds green apples, 1 5/8 yellow apples, and 1 5/8 red apples. The total cost was $5.40. What is the cost for one pound of apples if all apples cost the same amount?

2 3//4 + 1 5/8 + 1 5/8 = 5.40USD

8/4 + 3/4 + 8/8 + 5/8 + 8/8 + 5/8 = 5.40USD

11/4 + 26/8 = 5.40USD
11/4 + 13/4 = 5.40USD
24/4 = 5.40USD
6pounds = 5.40USD

1p = 5.40USD/6 = 0.9USD

1p = 0.9USD
