Florence wants to buy onions and doesn't want to spend more than $3. Can she buy 2.5 pounds if they are $1.25 per pound?

Write the inequality to find the answer.

No because if you divide 1.25 by two to find out what the half is in 2.5, it would be .62… and since she wants to buy 2.5 pounds, you've already figured out the .5, so 1.25x2 + .62, it would be 3.12. Illusion103

No Do a proportion 1.25 over 1 = x over 3 You would get 3.75

Florence cannot buy 2.5 pounds of onions at $1.25 per pound without exceeding her $3 budget, as the total cost would be $3.125. Therefore, she needs to buy a lesser quantity or find a cheaper price. Setting up the inequality showed that the total cost exceeds her budget.
