2.4 x13=31.2
2.4x200=480
2.4 * 13 = $_________
2.4 * 200 = ________ nails
2.4 x 13 = 31.2
2.4 x 200 = 480 nails
To find out how much Joe spends on nails, we can multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds Joe buys.
Given that a pound of nails costs $13, we can calculate the total cost by multiplying the cost per pound by the number of pounds:
Total cost = Cost per pound * Number of pounds
In this case, Joe buys 2.4 pounds, so the calculation would be:
Total cost = $13 * 2.4 pounds
Total cost = $31.20
So, Joe spends $31.20 on nails.
To find out how many nails Joe has, we can use the information that there are 200 nails in a pound.
Given that Joe buys 2.4 pounds, we can calculate the total number of nails by multiplying the number of pounds by the number of nails per pound:
Total number of nails = Number of pounds * Number of nails per pound
In this case, the calculation would be:
Total number of nails = 2.4 pounds * 200 nails per pound
Total number of nails = 480 nails
Therefore, Joe has 480 nails.
