Answer:

22.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Harrison's Butcher Shop sells 1/3 pounds of bee

for $1.50. If you need to buy 5 pounds of beet

for a cookout, how much would the beef cost?

Setup a proportion to answer the problem.

$27.50

$7.50

$15.00

$22.50

1.50 * 3 = 4.5 (cost 1 pound)

4.5 * 5 = 22.5 (total cost)

The cost of 5 pounds of beef for a cookout given the cost of 1/3 pounds is $22.50

How to find the cost of beef

  • 1/3 pounds = $1.50

  • 5 pounds = $x

Equate the ratio

1/3 : 1.50 = 5 : x

1/3 ÷ 1.50 = 5/x

1/3 × 1/1.50 = 5/x

1/4.5 = 5/x

  • cross product

1 × x = 4.5 × 5

x = $22.5
