To find out how many pounds of apples Jenna bought, you can divide the total amount she paid by the cost per pound.
1. Total amount paid: $11
2. Cost per pound: $2.75
Now, perform the calculation:
\[
\text{Number of pounds} = \frac{\text{Total amount paid}}{\text{Cost per pound}} = \frac{11}{2.75}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\frac{11}{2.75} = 4
\]
Thus, Jenna bought **4 pounds** of apples.
1. Total amount paid: $11
2. Cost per pound: $2.75
Now, perform the calculation:
\[
\text{Number of pounds} = \frac{\text{Total amount paid}}{\text{Cost per pound}} = \frac{11}{2.75}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\frac{11}{2.75} = 4
\]
Thus, Jenna bought **4 pounds** of apples.
