Julie is making a wild mushroom sauce for a pasta dinner with a large group of friends. She bought 30 ounces of wild mushrooms at ​$2.00 per pound. How much were the​ mushrooms?

Answer 1

To find out how much the mushrooms cost, we first need to convert the weight from pounds to ounces.

Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, 30 ounces of mushrooms is equal to 30/16 = 1.875 pounds.

Now, we can calculate the cost of the mushrooms by multiplying the weight in pounds by the price per pound:

1.875 pounds * $2.00/pound = $3.75

Therefore, the mushrooms cost $3.75.
