Answer:

0.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price of Pecans per pound = 0.95

Harold wants to buy 0.6 pounds of pecans.

To find:

The cost of the required amount of pecans.

Solution:

Here, we can use ratio or unitary method to find the required answer.

0.6 can be written as:

\dfrac{6}{10} = \dfrac{3}{5}

We are given that, money required to buy 1 pound = 0.95

Multiplying both sides with 0.6 or \frac{3}{5}:

money required to buy \frac{3}{5} pounds = 0.95\times \frac{3}{5} = \bold{0.57}

Therefore, the answer is:

The cost of 0.6 pounds of pecans = <em>0.57</em>
