Isabella bought 4 1/4 pounds of watermelon for $14.88. What is the price, in dollars, of 1 lb of watermelon?

Answer: The correct answer is $ 3.50 per pound. If she buys 4 1/4 pound, we convert the 1/4 to the decimal 0.25. Take the total cost of $14.88 and divide it by 4.25, the amount of watermelon she bought and it equals $3.50 per pound.

14.88/4.25 = 3.50
