It costs $2.50 to buy a lb of chopped walnuts. How much would it cost to purchase 5.5 lbs of walnuts?

Answer 1

$13.75 i hope this helps! :)

Explanation:

if one pound of walnuts us 2.50, then a half a pound of walnuts is 1.25

so we can multiply 2.5 by 5 to pay 12.5 then we need to add the .5 pound

1.25 added to 12.5 is 13.75

$13.75 for 5.5 pounds of walnuts
