Question

Jack paid $4:00 for 6 pounds of apples. What is the ratio of the price of apples to the pounds of apples?​

Answer 1

The ratio of the price of apples to the pound of apples: 2:3

Explanation:

4:6

divide by 2

2:3

Answer 2

you get 1.5 pounds of apples per dollar (1 pound and 8 ounces)

Explanation:

6 and 4 will not work so we need to use decimals

since we have a gap of two, we need to be able to use it four times

2=0.5

1.5 x 4 = 6

or we could just divide it... never mind forget it

your answer is 1.5 pounds of apples per dollar
