Question

Jenny buys 2/5 pound of mixed fruit for $2.50. At this rate, how many pounds of mixed fruit can he buy for $10?

Answer 1

1 and 3/5 of a pound

Since 2/5 = 2.50
you can easily multiple by 4 since we know
25 can go into 100 4 times. when you multiple by 4 you get 8/5 = 10.00 which is also 1 and 3/5

Answer 2

He can buy ten sounds of fruit
