If 5 pounds of broccoli cost is $12 then how much will 7 pounds of broccoli cost?

Ok so, 5 pounds is 12$, since we can't count by 5's to get our answer we can divide 12 by 5 to see how much one pound would cost.

12 / 5 = 2.4

One pound of broccoli costs $2.40, SO. To find how much 7 pounds would cost we multiply 7 by 2.4.

7 x 2.4 = 16.8

So, 7 pounds of broccoli costs $16.80

7 pounds costs $16.4 I think
