Question

Josiah paid $19.75 for 2.5 pounds of coffee beans. What was the cost of the beans per pound? Do I need to multiply or divide?

Answer 1

$7.9, You need to divide.

Explanation:

You need to divided because it's per each pound and it gives an example of 2.5 pounds. 2.5 is obviously more than 1 pound so, divide.

19.75/2.5= 7.9

I hope I can help!
