Answer 1

To find out how much Allison paid for 2 apples, we can set up a ratio using the given information.

Allison bought 4.1 pounds of apples for $1.75 per pound. This means that the total cost of the apples is $1.75 multiplied by 4.1.

To find out how much Allison paid for 2 apples, we can set up the following ratio:

Cost of 4.1 pounds of apples / 4.1 pounds = Cost of 2 apples / 2 apples

$1.75 * 4.1 / 4.1 = Cost of 2 apples

$1.75 = Cost of 2 apples

So, Allison paid $1.75 for 2 apples.

Therefore, the answer is C) $2.75.

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the correct answer.

Allison bought 4.1 pounds of apples for $1.75 per pound. To find out how much she paid for 2 apples, we first need to determine the cost per apple.

Cost per pound of apples = $1.75
Number of pounds of apples = 4.1
Number of apples = 2

To find the cost of 2 apples, we can set up the following proportion:

Cost per pound / Number of pounds = Cost per apple / Number of apples

$1.75 / 4.1 = Cost per apple / 2

Cross multiplying, we get:

$1.75 * 2 = 4.1 * Cost per apple

$3.50 = 4.1 * Cost per apple

Now, divide both sides by 4.1:

$3.50 / 4.1 = Cost per apple

Approximately, the cost per apple is $0.8537.

Therefore, Allison paid approximately $0.8537 for 2 apples.

The correct answer is approximately $0.8537.
