Question

Blueberries cost $4.00 per pound. For each question, explain or show your reasoning.

a. How many pounds of blueberries can you buy for $1.00?
b. How many pounds of blueberries can you buy for $13.00?

Answer 1

For A the answer is 0 for B the answer is 3.25

Explanation:

A: a is 0 because it says blueberries cost 4.00 per pound so a is asking how many pounds can we buy with 1.00 and since one pound is 4.00 then you cant buy any pounds of berries with 1.00

B: B is 3.25 but to get a whole number answer round 3.25 to get 3.3 (which is the closet to a whole number we can get)

Answer 2

You can buy 1/4 pound of blueberries for $1.00

You can also buy 3 1/4 pounds of blueberries for $13.00
