Math Problem Statement

If 3 limes sell for $0.57, how much will 8 limes cost?

Solution

To solve this, we first find the cost per lime by dividing the total cost of 3 limes by 3:

0.573=0.19\frac{0.57}{3} = 0.19

So, the cost per lime is $0.19. Now, to find the cost of 8 limes, we multiply the cost per lime by 8:

0.19×8=1.520.19 \times 8 = 1.52

Therefore, 8 limes will cost $1.52.
