1/3 1/2 .80 9/5 1 Found 2 solutions by Boreal, addingup:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Coffee is 80 cents per pound. One can buy 2.5 pounds, or $2.00/$0.80
The largest amount is 9/5 = 1.8
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9/5: any time you have a numerator greater than the denominator you are dealing with a mixed number. As you know, 9/5 is the same as 9÷5. Do the division and you get 1 and a remainder of 4, so we re-write the fraction as a mixed number:
9/5= 1 4/5
-----------------------------------------------
In the multiple choice they gave you, the highest number after 9/5 is 1. So, anything greater than 1 wins. And 1 4/5 is greater than 1 by 4/5, so this is you answer.
