1. So, since Manuel bought 9 pounds and ate 3/4 of 1 pound, he has 8.25 pounds left (9 - 0.75 = 8.25)
2. Let us call "x" the cost of 1 pound of apples
3. (8.25) * (x) = $15
4. x = $1.81818 rounded to the nearest dollar is $2 / pound
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible.
In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
10 will be your answer because 4 x 5 divided by 2 is 10
