Answer:

She bought 5 pounds.

Explanation:

if she spent 10 dollars and its 2 dollars per pound that means that you have to divide 10 by 2 in order to get how many pounds you can buy for 10 dollars.

If you think about it if you want 2 pounds then you multiply 2 by 2 to get four because its 2 dollars per pound and you need 2 pounds. so since you don't know the number of pounds you fill in the blanks and do 10/2 to get 5.
