Answer 2

$13.72

Explanation:

We are to find how much would
`2 \frac { 3 } { 4 }` pound of hamburger cost at 4.99 per pound.

First of all, changing the given mixed number to an improper fraction to make it easier to solve it further.

`2 \frac { 3 } { 4 }` --->
`\frac { 11 } { 4 }`

Now solving
`\frac { 11 } { 4 }` of
`4.99`:

`\frac { 11 } { 4 }` ×
`4.99 = 13.7225`

Rounding off the answer to get $13.72.
