Answer:
3,000 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
If the question gives you 5 : 12, you'd need to find the unit rate first (1 pound is equal to 2.40 dollars.)
let's make a table to make this easier
2.4 12 7,200
____|______|________
1 5 ?
so first we went from 2.4 to 12. what's the difference? we multiplied by 5 and we do he same thing with the bottom. now what's the difference between 12 and 7,200? we can easily solve this by dividing (which gives us with 600). now we do the same to the bottom (5 × 600) and now we multiply (3,000)
2.4 12 7,200
____|______|________
1 5 3,000
Hope I made sense! good luck!
