Question

Jillian bought 1/2 pound of turkey and 1 1/3 pounds of cheddar cheese at the deli. Both items are on sale for $6 per pound. What is the total cost?

Answer 1

Answer: 11 dollars

Step-by-step explanation: 1 pound = 6 dollars. Half of a pound is 3 dollars because it is half of 6. One and one third of a pound is 8 pounds because one pound is 6 dollars and a third of a pound is two dollars (because one third of 6 is 2.)

Answer 2

$11.00

Explanation:

multiply 1/2 times 6 and 1 1/3 times 6 then add

3 dollars for turkey

8 for cheese

add together

and get 11.00 dollars
