Answer 2

Answer:

Option C) 5 pounds of ground beef for $11.50 does not re[present the same price per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Maggie purchased 8 pounds of ground beef for $18.00.

Thus, cost for 1 pound of beef =

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Amount of beef}} = \frac{18}{8} = \ 2.25$

Price per pound = $2.25

Cost of 10 pounds of beef =

$\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 10 = 2.25\times 10 = \ 22.5$

Cost of 4 pounds of beef =

$\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 4 = 2.25\times 4 = \ 9$

Cost of 5 pounds of beef =

$\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 5 = 2.25\times 5 = \ 11.25$

Cost of 2 pounds of beef =

$\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 2 = 2.25\times 2 = \ 4.5$

Option C) 5 pounds of ground beef for $11.50 does not re[present the same price per pound.

According to $2.25 rate, 5 pounds of beef will cost $11.25 not $11.50.
