Racheal went to the store and bought 2 1/2 pounds of chicken for 9.00. At this rate, how much would it cost for 1,2, 3 pounds of chicken

1 answer

To find the cost of 1 pound of chicken, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pounds purchased.

Cost of 2 1/2 pounds of chicken = $9.00

Cost of 1 pound of chicken = $9.00 / 2.5 pounds = $3.60

Therefore, the cost of 1 pound of chicken is $3.60.

To find the cost of 2 pounds of chicken, we can multiply the cost of 1 pound by 2:

Cost of 2 pounds of chicken = $3.60 x 2 = $7.20

Therefore, the cost of 2 pounds of chicken is $7.20.

To find the cost of 3 pounds of chicken, we can multiply the cost of 1 pound by 3:

Cost of 3 pounds of chicken = $3.60 x 3 = $10.80

Therefore, the cost of 3 pounds of chicken is $10.80.
