Hannah bought 3.8 pounds of tomatoes at a farmers market for $1.45 per pound. How much did Hannah pay for the tomatoes?

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of the tomatoes, you can multiply the weight of the tomatoes by the price per pound.

Hannah bought 3.8 pounds of tomatoes at $1.45 per pound, so the calculation is:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Weight} \times \text{Price per pound} = 3.8 , \text{pounds} \times 1.45 , \text{dollars/pound} \]

Now performing the multiplication:

\[ 3.8 \times 1.45 = 5.51 \]

Thus, Hannah paid $5.51 for the tomatoes.
