the first step would be to divide 4.2 by 2 to find how many are 1 pound 4.2/2=2.1. then multiply that new number by 5 to get the total 2.1x5=10.5. thus the answer would be 5 pounds of peaches are 10.5

The cost for five pounds of peaches is $10.50, calculated by first finding the cost per pound ($2.10) and then multiplying it by 5. This method uses a simple proportion to determine total cost based on weight.
