Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the Cost of Jose's Watermelon

To find out how much Jose's watermelon cost at the farmers market, we need to use the given price of watermelon per pound and the weight of the watermelon in ounces. First, we need to convert the weight from ounces to pounds. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, we do this by dividing the total weight of the watermelon (83.2 ounces) by 16:

83.2 ounces ÷ 16 ounces/pound = 5.2 pounds

Now that we know the weight in pounds, we can calculate the cost by multiplying the weight in pounds by the price per pound:

5.2 pounds × $1.35 per pound = $7.02

Therefore, the cost of Jose's watermelon is $7.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

83.2 ounces= 5.2 pound
