Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
One pound of grapes costs $1.55. To find the amount x of 3.5 pounds of grapes we would have to multiply 1.55 by 3.5. This would give us the amount x we would have to pay for them.
If we examine the 4 equivalent radios shown in the pictures, we will see that the first one correctly shows this equivalency.
The other 3 pictures show radios that would give us x = 3.5 / 1.55 (second and third) or x = 1.55 / 3.5 (fourth picture).
Therefore, the correct answer would be a)
