Question

broccoli cost 1.50 per pound at a grocery store. how much does 64 ounces of broccoli cost, before tax

Answer 1

1 lb = 16 oz

1.50 / 16 = x / 64.....1.50 to 16 oz = x to 64 oz
cross multiply
(16)(x) = (1.50)(64)
16x = 96
x = 96/16
x = 6....so it costs $ 6 for 64 oz

Answer 2

$6

16 oz = 1 lb
64/16 = 4
4* 1.5 = 6

6 usd for 64 oz
