Question

3 ice cream cones cost $8.25. At this rate, how much do 2 ice cream cones cost? How do you know?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 ice-cream cones cost $5.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 ice cream cones cost $8.25 you will need to divide.

8.25/3 = 2.75

Since you are buying two ice cream cones you will need to multiply that number by two.

2.75 * 2 = 5.5

So two ice cream cones cost $5.50
