The food stand at the zoo sold 2,514 pounds of hamburger last month. The average cost of a pound of hamburger is $2. Jeremy estimates that about $6,000 worth of hamburger was sold last month. What does the question mean? Please help me ;-;

To determine if Jeremy's estimate of $6,000 worth of hamburger sold last month is less than or greater than the exact answer, we first need to calculate the exact cost of the hamburger sold.

The food stand sold 2,514 pounds of hamburger, and the average cost of a pound of hamburger is $2. To find the exact cost, we multiply the number of pounds sold by the cost per pound:

Cost of hamburger sold = 2,514 pounds * $2/pound

Using the multiplication, we can calculate the exact cost of hamburger sold.
