Answer:
Given: if 3 ounces basket of berries cost $0.51.
First convert 3 ounces into pounds;
Using conversion:
1 ounces = 0.0625 pounds.
Then,
3 ounces = [tex]3 \times 0.0625[/tex] = 0.1875 pounds.
Now, we have
0.1875 pounds basket of berries cost $0.51
then,
1 pounds basket of berries cost = [tex]\frac{\$ 0.51}{0.1875} = \$ 2.72[/tex]
To find the 5 pounds of basket berries cost.
5 pounds of basket berries cost = [tex]5 \times \$ 2.72 = \$ 13.6[/tex]
Therefore, Cost for 5 pounds of basket berries is, $ 13.6
