Question

Jose bought 2 1/5 pound of carrots for $6.60. At that rate, how much would 1 pound of carrots cost?

Answer 1

Given:

Jose bought 2 1/5 pound of carrots for $6.60.

To find:

At that rate, how much would 1 pound of carrots cost?

Solution:

The weight of carrots bought by Jose = $2\frac{1}{5} \:pounds= \frac{11}{5} \:pounds$

The total amount spent by Jose on carrots = $ 6.60

To find the final answer for the given problem, we will use the unitary method, which is as follows:

If $\frac{11}{5} \:pounds$ of carrots costs = $ 6.60

Then,

1 pound of carrots would cost =  $\frac{6.60}{\frac{11}{5} } = \frac{6.60\times 5}{11} = \frac{33}{11} =\ \:3$

Thus, at the given rate, the cost of 1 pound of carrots would be → $ 3.
