Blueberries cost $4.00 per pound. for each question, explain or show your reasoning. a. how many pounds of blueberries can you buy for $1.00 b. how many pounds of blueberries can you buy for $13.00

A: You can buy 1/4 pounds of blueberries with $1.00

B: You can buy 3 1/4 pounds of blueberries with $13.00

4 ounces  for $1.00 8 ounces for $2.00 12 ounces for $3.00  16 ounces for $4.00

Divide the total amount by the amount per pound to find the number of pounds:

$13.00 / $4.00 per pound = 3.25 pounds

If x is the number of berries you can buy with 1 dollar,

1 pound of blueberries = $4.00

x pound of berries = $1.00

Lets set up a proportion- because these are directly proportional- when there is more pounds of berries, it will cost more.

Cross multiply

4x=1

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

x=1/4 or $0.25

If x is the number of berries you can buy with 1 dollar,

1 pound of blueberries = $4.00

x pound of berries = $1.00

Lets set up a proportion- because these are directly proportional- when there is more pounds of berries, it will cost more.

Cross multiply

4x=1

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

x=1/4 or $0.25

it would be 3 1/4 pounds of blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Prices for fresh blueberries usually range from $1.50 to $4.00 per pound but can vary year to year depending on seasonal conditions that affect crops.

We found that a 1 pound container (450g) holds about 3 to 3.5 cups or 195 to 210 fresh blueberries. For a 1 quart measurement you would need to purchase about 1.5pounds which equals about 4.25 cups.

Well have many blueberries does it take to make one lbs?
