Question

One dozen bananas weigh 3 pounds, how much do 2 bananas weigh?

Answer 1

Answer: 50

Step-by-step explanation: If a dozen is 3 pounds then half a dozen would 6 which should be 1.50 lb. Now we need to know how much 1 banana weights. lets add all twelve until we have 3 pounds. 12 x 25 = 300 or 3.00 lb so we now know 2 bananas weight 50.

Answer 2

This is a unit rate problem. 12 divided by 3 is 4. So you do 4 x 2 to get you answer of 8 pounds
