The answer is 5^7 because you add the exponents
You convert 432 sq inches into inches so 20.7846. Then you times that by 6. The answer is 124.7076 and if rounded 124.7
Since 3lb pears is $3.87 lets say that every 1lb of pears costs $1.30.
say if you were to buy 2lb on-top of the 3lb it would cost $2.60 extra, causing the total price to be around $6.50 (rounded up)
so since 5lb is $6.65, i believe that the 3lb of pears is the better buy.
46.25 according to my calculator
