Chan Hee bought 3.4 pounds of coffee that cost $6.95 per pound. How much did he spend on coffee?
My answer:
$6.95/3.4=2.044
Is my answer correct or how would I do this
Multiply so you would multiply $6.95 per pound of coffee x 3.4 pounds of coffee=$23.63 is the total that he paid
Think about it.
How can he pay less than the cost of a pound of coffee?
You have four choices -- add, subtract, multiply, divide. You divided and came up with a ridiculous answer.
Now what are you going to do?
You're very welcome, Matt. :-)
Yes, now you've got it. :-)
Ty so much Ms. Sue. You are the best.
To calculate how much Chan Hee spent on coffee, you need to multiply the number of pounds of coffee by its cost per pound. In this case, Chan Hee bought 3.4 pounds of coffee at a cost of $6.95 per pound.
To find the total cost, you can multiply the weight (3.4 pounds) by the cost per pound ($6.95):
3.4 pounds * $6.95/pound = $23.63
Therefore, Chan Hee spent $23.63 on coffee.
