Question

Write your own problem about a unit rate you found in the previous problem. For example, if 3 avocados cost $4, how much would 12 avocados cost? Show at least one way to solve your problem.

Answer 1

To calculate the cost of 5 bunches of grapes when 2 bunches cost $1.30, we find the unit rate ($0.65 per bunch) and then multiply by 5 to get the total cost ($3.25).

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the unit rate provided in the previous examples, let's create a new problem. If 2 bunches of grapes cost $1.30, at 65 cents each, how much would 5 bunches of grapes cost?

To solve this problem, we follow these steps:

1. 
   
3. First, determine the unit rate, which is the cost for one bunch. We know that 2 bunches cost $1.30, so we divide $1.30 by 2 to find the unit rate. $1.30 ÷ 2 = $0.65 per bunch.
4. 
   
6. Then, multiply the unit rate by the number of bunches you want to find the total cost for. In this case, 5 bunches. $0.65 x 5 = $3.25.

Therefore, 5 bunches of grapes would cost $3.25.
