Question

Pears cost $0.69 per pound how much will it cost to buy 2 pears that weigh 0.125 each

Answer 1

Does the weight matter? Anyways i think you’re basically doing multiplication which is 0.69 x 2 = 1.38.

Answer 2

Given is the cost of Pears = 0.69 dollars per pound.

Given is the weight of each pear = 0.125 pounds.

The weight of 2 pears would be 2 times 0.125 pounds i.e. 2 x 0.125 = 0.250 pounds. So 2 pears weigh 0.250 pounds.

Given is the rate of Pears = 0.69 dollars per pound.

Cost of 1 pound of pears = 0.69 dollars,

Cost of 0.250 pounds of pears = 0.250 x 0.69 dollars = 0.1725 dollars.

So, final answer is 0.17 dollars.
