A store has apples on sale for$3.00 for 2 pounds. How many pounds of apples can you buy for $9? If an apple is approximately 5 ounces, how many apples can you buy for $9? Explain both questions. Thanks

19.2 you have two conversion factors:

$3 = 2 lb
1 apl = 5 oz

So, to convert $ to lb, do

$9 * 2lb/$3 = 18/3 = 6 lb

6lb * 16oz/lb * 1apl/5oz = 96/5 = 19.2 apples

Please help answer thx

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use basic math skills to determine how many pounds of apples you can buy for $9? To figure this out, first, you need to know that the store sells apples for $3.00 for 2 pounds. So, if $3.00 can buy 2 pounds, then $9.00 would be able to buy 6 pounds of apples. But wait, there's more! If you want to know how many individual apples you can get for $9.00, you need to know that an apple is approximately 5 ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so an apple is about (5/16) of a pound. So, to find the number of apples you can buy for $9.00, divide the total weight (6 pounds) by the weight of a single apple (5/16 pounds). Simplifying this, you can buy approximately 19 apples for $9.00. By using these calculations, you can determine both the number of pounds and the number of individual apples you can buy for $9.00. Happy apple shopping!
