Mrs. Baker paid $2.50 for 5 pounds of bananas. Write an equation relating to the cost to the number of pounds of bananas. How much would Mrs. Baker pay for 8 pounds of bananas?


Sagot :

The equation is 2.50÷5=x
2.50÷5=.50
Mrs. Baker paid $2.50 for 5 pounds of bananas
If x=.50 per banana
Then to get the cost of 8 bananas, you would do 8×.50=$4.00
Mrs. Baker paid $4.00 for 8 pounds of bananas
Each banana costs .50 cents per pound


Mr. Baker paid $4.00 for 8 pounds of bananas. Hope this helps
