i hope this helped!

Answer 2

Since 1 pound costs $1.82, and we are getting 2.6 of these pounds, we are going to multiply the cost of 1 pound by 2.6, or 1.82 * 2.6, which equals 4.732, which rounds to $4.73.

Represented mathematically, this would be:

$\dfrac{1 \,\textrm{pound}}{\ 1.82} = \dfrac{2.6 \,\textrm{pounds}}{x}$

$x = \dfrac{2.6\,\textrm{pounds}}{\frac{1 \,\textrm{pound}}{\ 1.82}}$

$x = 2.6\,\textrm{pounds} \cdot \dfrac{\ 1.82}{1 \,\textrm{pound}}$

$x = 2.6 \cdot \ 1.82$

$\boxed{x = \ 4.73}$
