Question

At a strawberry stand Luisa paid $4.50 for 2 pounds of strawberries. How much would you expect to pay for five pounds or strawberry?

Answer 1

The answer would be 11.25

Answer 2

Half of 4.50 is 2.25, so for one pound it would be $2.25.

To calculate five pounds, you need to add 2.25+2.25+2.25+2.25+2.25 = 11.25.

For five pounds of strawberry's, it would cost $11.25.

Hope this helped !
