Question

Karl bought 1.6 pounds of oranges and 2.4

pounds of pears. They each cost $1.48 per pound
Use properties to find the total cost.

Answer 1

$5.92

Explanation:

1.6 lbs. + 2.4 lbs. = 4 lbs.

4 x 1.48 = 5.92

Since it doesn't specify whether the oranges and apples cost differently you can add both of them. Then you multiply it by 1.48 because that's the cost per pound.
