Question

Toben bought ​ 5 1/2 ​ pounds of chicken, which cost $3.50 per pound. What was the total cost of the chicken?

Answer 1

The chicken cost $1.57 per pound.

You figure this out by dividing the total amount of chicken 5.5lbs (5 1/2) by the cost per pound.

5.5 / 3.50 = 1.57

Answer 2

Hello There!

I'm pretty sure we are finding the total of all of it.
5.5 x 3.5 = 19.25
Therefore the total cost was $19.25

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
