Question

Diane is buying 6 apples that weigh 8

ounces each. The cost of the apples is
$3.74 per pound. How much will she
pay for the apples?

Answer 1

Explanation:

What we have as information:

6 apples

1 apple = 8 ounce

She pays 3.74 for each pound

Since we know that 1 pound is 16 ounces, that means that 1 apple is half a pound or we could say that 2 apples is 1 pound.

2+2+2 = 6 apples

(since 2 apples is one pound and there are 3 groups of 2,we can say that she bought 3 pounds)

3 times 3.74 = 11.22

She pays 11$ and 22cents.

Answer 2

6 x 8 = 48 ounces 16 ounces in a pound 48/16 is 3 pounds 3.74 x 3 = $11.22
