Question 4 options:



$5.58



$0.70



$1.40



$1.49

Answer 1

The answer is $1.40.
2.79/2= 1.395 which is 1.39 rounded to the nearest cent is 1.40

Answer 2

$1.40

Explanation:

In this problem, we are meant to find the price of each liter. However, we only have the price of two liters. The easiest way to discover the result would be to divide the amount by two (because it is two liters we are talking about). It would look something like this:

2.79/2= 1.395

If we were to round this number up, we would obtain 1.40.
