Problem 2:

Seeman bought 2 wholes and 1/5 pound of carrots for 6.60 at that rate how much would 1 pound of carrot cost?

Given:

Seeman bought 2 wholes and 1/5 pound of carrots for $ 6.60

To find:

Cost of 1 pound of carrots

Solution:

We will first convert mixed fraction to improper fraction:

→ $2\frac{1}{5} \:pounds = \frac{11}{5}\:pounds$

To solve the problem we will use the unitary method which is as follows:

If the cost of $\frac{11}{5}$ pounds of carrots is $ 6.60

Then, the cost of 1 pound of carrots is = $\frac{6.60}{\frac{11}{5} } = \frac{6.60 \times 5}{11} = \frac{33}{11} = \ \:3$

Thus, $\boxed{\bold{The \:cost\:of \:one \:pound\:of\:carrots\:is\:\underline{\ \: 3}}}.$
