Answer 1

The cost of 1 and (1/4) pounds of raspberries is $10.

Step-by-step explanation

Anyeny bought (3/4) pounds of raspberries for $6.

What is the cost of 1 and (1/4) pounds of raspberries.

`1(1)/(4)=\text{ }(5)/(4)`

(3/4) pounds = $6

(5/4) pounds = x dollars

Creatin a mathematical relation by cross multiplying

(3/4) × x = (5/4) × 6

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)* x=(5)/(4)*6 \\ (3x)/(4)=\text{ }(30)/(4) \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 3x*4=30*4 \\ 12x=\text{ 120} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 12} \\ (12x)/(12)=(120)/(12) \\ x=10 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the cost of 1 and (1/4) pounds of raspberries is $10.

Hope this Helps!!!
