Pamela is incorrect. When you multiply anything negative by a negative, the product will always be a positive. Because the two negative signs cancel each other out.
1. So, since Manuel bought 9 pounds and ate 3/4 of 1 pound, he has 8.25 pounds left (9 - 0.75 = 8.25)
2. Let us call "x" the cost of 1 pound of apples
3. (8.25) * (x) = $15
4. x = $1.81818 rounded to the nearest dollar is $2 / pound

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Multiply the numbers until you get the same denominator (Bottom number) for both fractions. I will do #1 to show you.
1/3 1/2
Both 3 and 2 go into 6, so I will use that.
When multiplying the bottom , you have to do the same to the top, so...
2/6 OR 3/6
3/6 is greater, so that is the answer.
Therefore, 1/2 is more
Another way you can do this is to draw a pizza, a section off parts of it according to the fractions.
Hope this helped.
