Raphael went to the store and bought 2 1/2 pounds of chicken for 9:00. At this rate, how much would it cost for 1, 2, and 3 pounds of chicken?
To find the cost for 1 pound of chicken, you can divide the total cost of 2 1/2 pounds by 2.5 (since 2 1/2 is equivalent to 2.5).
Cost of 1 pound of chicken = $9.00 / 2.5 = $3.60
To find the cost for 2 pounds of chicken, you can multiply the cost of 1 pound by 2.
Cost of 2 pounds of chicken = $3.60 x 2 = $7.20
To find the cost for 3 pounds of chicken, you can multiply the cost of 1 pound by 3.
Cost of 3 pounds of chicken = $3.60 x 3 = $10.80
Therefore, the cost for 1, 2, and 3 pounds of chicken would be $3.60, $7.20, and $10.80 respectively.
