Question

Tomatoes are $ 1.74 pound bob brought a half pound how much did it cost

Answer 1

If tomatoes are $1.74 per pound, then you have to multiply 0.5 by 1.74 to find out how much it cost Bob to buy half of a pound of tomatoes. So the answer is 0.87

Answer 2

If 1 pound cost $1.74 then .5 (1/2) pound should cost $0.87

Work:

1.74 x 0.5 = 0.87

1.74 - 0.87 = 0.87

Hope this helps!
