Hannah has been loving making fruit smoothies for her and her friends she workouts with. She gets 5 pounds of strawberries at a market for $6.10. More people are coming to workout with them over the weekend, so she has to get more strawberries. How much would it cost her to get 8 pounds of strawberries? Round to the nearest penny at the end if necessary.

Do 6.10 divided by 5 to find how much each pound of strawberries costs. then you get $1.22 per pound. multiply 1.22 by 8, since she needs 8 pounds of strawberries, and you will have answer.
ANSWER: $9.76 pounds of strawberries
