A conversation store sells 1\3 pound of one brand of tail mix for 1.50 and 1\2 of another brand of trail mix for 2.15. Which brand has a lower price per pound? Explain your reasoning.

Brand one offers a lower price per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a conversation store sells 1/3 pound of one brand of tail mix for 1.50 and 1/2 of another brand of trail mix for 2.15. We are asked to find the brand which offers lower price per pound.

First of all, we will find price of per pound trail mix for each brand.

Since 1/3 pound of one brand of tail mix costs $1.50, so the cost of one pound trail mix would be 3 times $1.50 that is .

Since 1/2 pound of other brand of tail mix costs $2.15, so the cost of one pound trail mix would be 2 times $2.15 that is .

Since $4.30 is less than $4.50, therefore, brand one offers a lower price per pound.

hope this !
