Answer:
2.78 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation. Represent the bananas bought with x.
Total pounds of fruit = pineapple + cherries + bananas
8.67 pounds = 2.8 pounds + 3.09 pounds + x bananas
Combine like terms.
8.67 = 5.89 + x
Subtract 5.89 from both sides.
2.78 = x
<u>He bought 2.78 pounds of bananas.</u>

Answer:
y=1 1/2 (fraction)
or
y=1.5 (decimal)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to get y alone, so we need to get rid of the 1/2 in front of it. To do that we can multiply each side by 2 since 1/2 + 1/2 = 1.
3/4= 1/2y
multiply each side by 2
To multiply 3/4 by 2 you need to multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators
2•3=6 & 4 • 1 =4
6/4
simplify
y=1 1/2
(If you need it in decimal form it would be y=1.5)
