Question

Is this correct? If it isn’t what’s the correct answer?

Answer 1

d. $6.60

Explanation:

3 cost 3.60, then 5.5 would cost ?

So we have to find what multiplied with 3 would equal 5.5, so:

5.5/3, we can't simplify this fraction so we'll just use it to multiply 3.60

3.60 × 5.5/3 = 19.8/3 = 6.6

Answer 2

No, it is 6.60

Explanation:

We need to know the cost of 1 pound, so we have to do 3.60 divided by 3, to get the cost of 1 pound, which is 1.20

We times 1.20 by the amount of pounds we need, (5.5,) and get 6.60.

If it was times just 5 pounds, than yes, it would be correct, but we need to look out for decimals too.
