Answer 1

Answer:

C. Peaches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of each fruit per pound, divide the cost of the fruit by how many pounds of it there are.

Apples: $6 ÷ 6 = $1

Bananas: $4 ÷ 5 = $0.80

Peaches: $5 ÷ 4 = $1.25

Kiwis: $9 ÷ 6 = $1.50

The type of fruit that has a cost of $1.25 per pound is peaches.
