Question

Broccoli cost 1.50 per pound at a store. How much money does 32 ounce of broccoli cost.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the pounds of broccoli.

Start with what you know: you want 32 oz of broccoli.

You know that 1 lb = 16 oz.     Calculate the weight in pounds

Wt  = 32 × 1/16

Wt  = 2 lb

===============

Step 2. Calculate the cost of the broccoli.

$1.50 = 1 lb          Calculate the cost

Cost = 2 × 1.50/1

Cost = $3.00
