Question

Tom bought 2 pounds bananas for $3. How much would it cost for 5 pounds of bananas?

Answer 1

It would be $7.50.

Step-by-step explanation: 2 pounds of bananas is $3, so we know that 4 pounds of bananas would be $6. Now, 1 pound of bananas would be $1.50! Because 1 pound is half of 2 pounds. Knowing this, one pound of bananas would be $1.50, beucuase its half.

Answer 2

I think it is $7.50 because you divide 3/2 to find how much 1 pound is which is 1.50 and you want to find how much 5 pounds are so you multiply 1.50 x 5 which is $7.50
