If you divide 2.00 divided by 4, your answer will be 0.50.

Answer 2

Price for one pound = 50 cents

Explanation:

Apples are on sale at the market 4 pounds for $2.00.

`\texttt{Price for one pound = }(2)/(4)=0.5\$`

That is price for one pound = 0.5 $

We have 1 dollar = 100 cents

Price for one pound = 0.5 $ = 0.5 x 100 = 50 cents

Price for one pound = 50 cents
