Answer:

You could buy 3 cantaloupes.

Explanation:

So, you have $6. Now, what we would do is (O is 1 cantaloupe):

If O cost $2, do the following:

O O O O O

2 2 2 2 2

Now, lets count up til we get 6:

2 + 2 = 4; 4 + 2 = 6;

After you have done that step, count how many 2's you see in that equation. I see 3.

Therefore, you could buy 3 cantaloupes.
