Question

Broccoli costs $1.50 per pound at a store. How much money does 32 ounces of broccoli cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First you will see how much ounces 1 pound is and it will be 16 then if you multiply 16 by 2 you get 32 so I'd be 2 pounds and If 1 pound is $1.50 then 2 pounds would be $3.00

Answer 2

Answer:

$3.00$  $dollars$

Step-by-step explanation:

So it seems that our measurements aren't the same, lets change that:

Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, and we need 32 ounces.

32/16

==> 2

This means that we only need to buy only two broccoli to get our 32 ounces.

So since we doubled the amount of ounces, let us do the same with the money:

$1.50 * 2

==> $3.00
