Answer 2

Answer: A greater weight of peaches will be bought

Explanation:

The unit rate for peaches = $2.00 per pound.

The unit rate for grapes = $2.50 per

pound.

Amount to spend = $10

Weight of peaches to buy with $10 = $10 / $2.00

= 5 pounds

Weight of grapes to buy with $10 = $10 / $2.50

= 4 pounds

Therefore, a greater weight of peaches will be bought as 5 pounds will be bought instead of 4 pounds for grape.
