Answer 1

To find the cost of 5 pounds of potatoes at $1.39 per pound, you multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds:

\[
\text{Cost} = \text{Price per pound} \times \text{Number of pounds}
\]

\[
\text{Cost} = 1.39 \, \text{dollars/pound} \times 5 \, \text{pounds}
\]

\[
\text{Cost} = 6.95 \, \text{dollars}
\]

So, the cost of 5 pounds of potatoes is $6.95.
