Question

Pumpkins are being sold for $1.30 at the local farmers market. How much would a pumpkin be weighing 6lb 9oz

Answer 1

$8.53

Explanation:

The first thing you do is convert the oz into pounds. There is 16 oz in a pound so our fraction is 9/16 which is 0.5625 . Then adding to the pounds it becomes 6.5625 pounds. Then multiply by 1.3.
