Apples cost $2/lb but 15 apples cost $4. How many pounds does an apple weigh?
A 2/15
B 15/2
C 1/15
D 1/30
E 15

Answer 1

Well, you start out by recognizing that 4/5ths of an ounce equals 1/5 of the apples weight. Therefore, you must multiply 4/5 by 5 to get the whole of the Apple. (1/5*5).

So, this is the lines,

4/5*5= 20/5, or 4 ounce

Another way, is with decimals, so

0.8*5=4.0
