Answer:
The total cost of the apples was $5
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of apples Bob bought was [tex]3\ \frac{1}{3}[/tex] lbs.
[tex]3\ \frac{1}{3}[/tex] is a mixed number.
[tex]3\ \frac{1}{3}[/tex] is the same as: [tex]3 +\frac{1}{3} =3.3333\ lbs[/tex]
If every pound of apples costs $ 1.5 and Bob bought 3.333 pounds then the amount of money he spent was 3.333 times $ 1.5. This is:
[tex]3,333 * 1.5 = \$\ 5[/tex]
The total cost of the apples was $5
