Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, he needs to buy 3/4 pounds of coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A person is at the store to buy $1\dfrac{1}{2}$ pounds i.e. 3/2 pounds of coffee.

He has already put in his cart 3/4 pounds of coffee.

Now we are asked to find what extra amount he needs to buy.

The extra amount is calculated as:

The amount he has to buy-The amount he has put in his cart.

$=\dfrac{3}{2}-\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{6-3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\ pounds$

Hence, he need to buy 3/4 pounds of coffee.
