Question

If two lemons cost 15 cents, how many can be bought for 60 cents

Answer 1

Answer: There are 8 lemons he can bought for 60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

Number of lemons = 2

Cost of 2 lemons = 15 cents

By using "Unitary Method":,

For 15 cents, number of lemons he can bought = 2

For 1 cent, number of lemons he can bought is given by

$\frac{2}{15}$

For 60 cents, number of lemons he can bought is given by

$\frac{2}{15}\times 60\\\\=2\times 4\\\\=8$

Hence, there are 8 lemons he can bought for 60 cents.

Answer 2

Answer
8 lemons

Explanation
If 2 lemons cost 15 cents, then 1 lemon would cost;
15÷2=7.5 cents.
To get the number of lemons that can be bought we you divide 60 by the cost on one lemon.
That is;
60÷7.5=8 lemons.
