Coffee costs $1.75 a pound. How much would 3.2 pounds of coffee cost?

$5.60

Step-by-step explanation:

So each pound equals to $1.75 which means that we need to multiply by 3.2 because we're trying to find the number of money we'll spend on a certain amount of coffee. So if we multiply, we get 5.6. Though in context with the problem, it should be $5.60.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
