Question

6 pounds of apples cost $12 how much do 8 pounds cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

8=$16

Step-by-step explanation:

6=$12

divide both sides by 6

1=$2

so one pound equals $2 so if 6 pounds equals $12 just add 2 pounds to 6 to make it 8 pounds. you added two pounds so that means you have to add $4 to the total witch will give you

8=$16

Answer 2

Since 6 lbs of apples cost $12, 1 lb will cost $2.
8 times 2 = 16
8 lbs of apples cost $16

hope this helps!!
