Answer 2

Answer:

$13.72

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find how much would $2 \frac { 3 } { 4 }$ pound of hamburger cost at 4.99 per pound.

First of all, changing the given mixed number to an improper fraction to make it easier to solve it further.

$2 \frac { 3 } { 4 }$ ---> $\frac { 11 } { 4 }$

Now solving $\frac { 11 } { 4 }$ of $4.99$:

$\frac { 11 } { 4 }$ × $4.99 = 13.7225$

Rounding off the answer to get $13.72.
