Answer 1

1. 2.4 pounds =$1.68 for Carrot
1.8 pounds = $ 1.53 for broccoli
therefore, 1 pound of carrot = 1.68/2.4 =$ 0.7
and 1 pound of broccoli = 1.53/1.8 = 0.85,
So the difference in each pound worth of Carrot and broccoli is $0.85 - $0.7 = $0.15
So 1 pound of broccoli cost $0.15 more than carrot.

2. 3/4 of 20.8
= 3/4 X 20.8
= 62.4/4
= 15.6 Ounces
