Question

two pounds of grapes cost $6 . complete the table showing the price of different amounts of grapes at this rate

Answer 1

Answer:

Table shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem let's use proportions.

If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price

For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.

Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds
