Maggie spent $4.05 on cheese and fruit at the farmer's market. She bought 1/8 pound of apples, 1/4 pound of pears and 1.25 pounds of bananas how much did she spend on cheese?

Answer 1

To find out how much Maggie spent on cheese, we first need to calculate the total amount she spent on fruit. Maggie bought 1/8 pound of apples, 1/4 pound of Pears, and 1.25 pounds of bananas, which totals to 1/8 + 1/4 + 1.25 = 1.625 pounds of fruit. If she spent $4.05 on fruit, we can calculate the cost per pound by dividing $4.05 by 1.625 pounds, which equals $2.50 per pound. Since she didn't spend any money on cheese, the answer is $0.

Answer 2

Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem! If Maggie spent $4.05 on fruit, we can find out how much she spent on cheese by subtracting the cost of the fruit from the total. So, if we add up the cost of the apples, pears, and bananas, we can subtract that from $4.05 to find out how much she spent on cheese. Just remember, there are no mistakes in math, only happy little miscalculations!

Answer 3

Well, honey, if Maggie spent $4.05 on fruit, she didn't spend a dime on cheese. She bought apples, pears, and bananas, not Gouda and Brie. So, unless that cheese was invisible, she didn't spend anything on it.
