Answer 2

Answer:

The price per pound of apples is greater than $1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three coworkers decided to buy fruit to share at lunchtime. Antonii spent $1.47 on bananas. Laura spent $2.88 on apples. Suzanne spent $2.85 on oranges.   If Laura bought 2.1 pounds of apples, is the price per pound of apples greater than or less than $1? how can you tell?

To find the price of apples per pound, we need to divide the total amount paid by Laura ($2.88) with the total pounds of apples (2.1 pounds) bought.

Price of apples per pound = $2.88/2.1

price of apples per pound= $1.37142857

 

Since the price of apples per pound is $1.37, therefore, the price per pound of apples is greater than $1.

We can simply tell that the price per pound of apples is greater than $1 because 2.88 is greater than 2.1. So when we will divide 2.88 by 2.1, then we will get a number greater than 1.
