PLEASE HELPPP!!!!! 15 POINTS

Jose bought 1.5 pounds of apples for $3.60.

How much would 34 of a pound of apples cost?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

$14.28

Explanation:

1.5 / 3.60 = 0.42

0.42 * 34 = 14.28

you would divide the pounds by the money because you are trying to find 5e pounds per dollar. So then you get 0.42 the multiply that by 34 and you would get the answer of 34.

Answer 2

81.6

Explanation:

If you do a table and find the unit rate by dividing 3.6/1.5. That gives you 2.4.

Now you multiply 2.4 (the price per pound) by 34 because that's how many pounds you need. You get 81.6
