To find the total cost of the apples, you can multiply the price per pound by the number of pounds picked.
The formula is:
\[
\text{Total cost} = \text{Price per pound} \times \text{Number of pounds}
\]
Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Total cost} = 1.40 \, \text{dollars/pound} \times 2.5 \, \text{pounds}
\]
Calculating that:
\[
\text{Total cost} = 1.40 \times 2.5 = 3.50
\]
Therefore, the total cost of the apples will be **$3.50**.
