ellen buys 24 ounces of green beans at the grocery store. the green beans cost $1.90 per pound. how much does she pay for the green beans, before tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

  $2.85

Step-by-step explanation:

The price Ellen pays can be found using the proportion ...

  price/(24 oz) = $1.90/(16 oz)

Multiplying by 24 oz, we get ...

  price = $1.90(24/16) = $2.85

Ellen pays $2.85 for the beans.
