Question

Determine the cost of 5 pounds of bananas if 2 pounds cost $1.16

Answer 1

Find the cost for one lb. 1.16÷2=.58 .58×5=2.90 ~《JZ》 Hope it helps

Answer 2

The answer is $2.90.
this is because you can multiply $1.16 by two to get the cost for 4 bananas, then divide 1.16 by 2 to get the cost of one pound (58 cents).
You then add 0.58 to the cost of 4 bananas (2.32) to get the cost of 5.
