Zoe by one. 5 pounds of apples for $3.50 per pound. She wanted to find the total cost using. partial Products drag all of the partial products into the box, said Zoe needs to solve the problem A 0.18 B 3 C 0.25 D 0.5 E 1.5 F 0.05

Answer 1

To find the total cost of 5 pounds of apples at $3.50 per pound using partial products, we can break down the cost into simpler components.

First, write the multiplication we'll do: // 5 (pounds) × 3.50 (cost per pound)

Next, we can break down $3.50 into parts:

• $3.00 (which is 3)
• $0.50 (which is the 0.50 part)

Now, calculate the partial products:

1. Partial product for $3.00: \[ 5 \times 3 = 15 \]

2. Partial product for $0.50: \[ 5 \times 0.50 = 2.50 \]

Now, add the partial products together to find the total: \[ 15 + 2.50 = 17.50 \]

Now relating this back to the answer choices (A 0.18, B 3, C 0.25, D 0.5, E 1.5, F 0.05), none of these are partial products for the calculation we made, as they might pertain to individual components of another problem or depend on rounding or estimates that are not clear in this context.

Thus, Zoe needs to calculate the total using partial products and comes out with $17.50 for 5 pounds of apples at $3.50 per pound. The partial products identified here are 15 and 2.50.
