Answer:
2.32 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem says that he spent $8.10 0n pixie sticks and it also says, when you clarified, that 1 pound of pixie sticks is $3.48.
We will use Rule of Three to solve this problem, Rule of Three is used to solve proportions. To solve it we write:
$3.48 → 1 pound
$8.10 → x pounds
First, we multiply and then divide
(To know how to solve Rule of Three, check the image attached)
We can write an expression like this:
x = ($8.10 * 1 pound) / $3.48
x = $8.10 / $3.48
x = 2.32 pounds
