Hannah bought a total of 5.12 pounds of fruit at the market. she bought 2.5 pounds of pears and she also bought some bananas. how many pounds of bananas did she buy please show work and answer

Sagot :

Hannah bought pears and bananas only, so let's write the following equation:

[tex]\text{total}=\text{pears}+\text{bananas}[/tex]

If the total weight bought is 5.12 and 2.5 pounds are pears, we can calculate the weight of bananas bought:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5.12=2.5+\text{bananas} \\ \text{bananas}=5.12-2.5 \\ \text{bananas}=2.62 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So Hannah bought 2.62 pounds of banana.
