Question

Three pounds of bananas cost $1.47 and 2 pounds of grapes cost $1.18. Which fruit is less expensive per pound? Explain how you know

​

Answer 1

Grapes are less expensive

Explanation:

First, find how much money 1 pound of each fruit is:

Bananas: $1.47 / 3 = $0.49

Grapes: $1.18 / 2 = $0.59

Compare:

0.49 < 0.59

So grapes are less expensive
