Question

Fiona paid $1.50 for 3/4 pounds of almonds. Supposed Fiona wanted a pound. How much would that cost?

Answer 1

The cost of one pound would be $2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given:

• Fiona paid $1.50 for 3/4 pounds of almonds
• Fiona wanted a pound

We need to find the cost of 1 pound

The cost of $\frac{3}{4}$ pound is $1.50

To find the cost of one pound use the ratio method

→  The cost    :    Pound

→  1.50            :    $\frac{3}{4}$

→  x                 :    1

By using cross multiplication

∵ $\frac{3}{4}$ × x = 1.50 × 1

∴ $\frac{3}{4}$ x = 1.50

- Divide both sides by $\frac{3}{4}$

∴ x = 2

The cost of one pound would be $2
