Answer 1

M

Explanation:

Answer 2

She spent $5.05 for her total purchase.

Explanation:

First, you should convert the fractions into decimals to make it easier, which would make it, 1.5, .25, 1.

Second, multiply 1.5 by 2 because there are 1.5 pounds which are payed for $2.00. Do the others fractions corresponding with the number of pounds and the cost this same way. 1.5 multiplied by 2 is 3. .25 multiplied by 1.60 is 0.4, 1 multiplied by 1.65 is 1.65.

Lastly, Add it all up, 3+0.4+1.65=5.05
