A grocery store sells bananas, where 6 bananas cost $3. How much will 14 bananas cost at this rate? Use the scale factor to help you solve.

Answer 1

First, calculate the cost per banana by dividing the total cost by the number of bananas:
$3 / 6 bananas = $0.50 per banana

Next, use the cost per banana to find the cost of 14 bananas:
$0.50 per banana x 14 bananas = $7

Therefore, 14 bananas will cost $7 at this rate.
