Answer 1

Answer: 0.29

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing that you need to know is that a ton equals 2,000 pounds. Therefore, 6,000 pounds of rocks cost $1,740. In order to solve the problem you need to divide $1,740 by 6,000. 1,740 / 6,000 = .29

Each pound cost $ 0.29. (29 cents)

Answer 2

Answer:  $0.29 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{price}{pound}:\ \dfrac{\ 1,740}{3\ tons}\times \dfrac{1\ ton}{2,000\ pounds}=\dfrac{\ 1,740}{6,000\ pounds}=\large \boxed{\dfrac{\ 0.29}{1\ pound}}$
