Question

Apples cost $2.40 for 3 lb. At that rate, how many pounds of apples can you buy for $8.00?

Answer 1

Hey there! :D

Divide 8 by 2.40.

8/2.4= 3 1/3

Multiply that by 3. (since you get 3 lbs of apples per every 2.40 you pay)

3*3 1/3= 10

You could buy 10 lbs of apples.

I hope this helps!
