Answer:

Explanation:

To find out how much 6 bagels cost at a rate of $5 per dozen, you can calculate the cost as follows:

1 dozen = 12 bagels

So, the cost of 1 dozen bagels is $5.

To find the cost of 6 bagels, you can think of it as half of a dozen (1/2 dozen). Therefore, the cost of 6 bagels would be:

Cost of 6 bagels = (1/2) * Cost of 1 dozen

Cost of 6 bagels = (1/2) * $5

Cost of 6 bagels = $2.50

So, 6 bagels would cost $2.50 at this rate.
