Answer 1

The cost of 0.5 pounds of oats for the recipe is calculated by multiplying the quantity needed with the price per pound, which is $1.75. The final cost is $0.88 after rounding to two decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is related to determining the cost of oats required for a recipe, given the price per pound. To calculate the cost, we apply basic multiplication of the quantity needed by the price per unit of weight. The AP cost given is $1.75 per pound. Since the recipe calls for 0.5 pounds of oats, we calculate the cost as follows:

1. Multiply the quantity of oats needed (0.5 pounds) by the given AP cost ($1.75 per pound).
2. The calculation will be 0.5 pounds × $1.75/pound.
3. When we multiply 0.5 by 1.75 we get 0.875.
4. Round the answer to two decimal places: The cost of oats for the recipe is $0.88.
