Carson bought 2.5 pounds of gummy bears for $2.75 per pound. How much did he spend on gummy bears? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredths place.) Please help m

Since this number has a decimal. Break the answer apart. 2.75•2=$5.50. That would be for two pounds. For another additional 0.5 pounds, you would divide $2.75/2= 1.375. This would be rounded up to 1.38. Now you add 5.50+1.38=$6.88

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
