You can set up an expression where p = the pounds of bananas.
With that information, 2p =$1.89
To figure out the cost per pound, you want the cost of 1 p. Therefore, you divide both sides by 2.
p = $1.89/2
p = $0.945
(since it is money you normally round to two decimal places so you would say $0.95 or 95 cents)

Write 240 and 1500 as products of their prime factor

Marina CMI [18]

240 = 2 × 120
120 = 2 × 60
60 = 2 × 30
30 = 2 × 15
15 = 3 × 5
The 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 and 5 are all the prime factors of 240. So, 2^4 × 3 × 5

1500 = 3 × 500
500 = 5 × 100
100 = 5 × 20
20= 5 × 4
4 = 2 × 2
The 3, 5, 5, 5, 2 and 2 are all the prime factors of 1500. So, 2² + 3 + 5³
