$68.00

$72.00

$70.00

$74.00

Answer 1

3 pounds = 3*16 ounces = 48 ounces
6$ -> 4
?$ -> 48

Notice that you have to multiply by 12.

Answer 2

what would it be though?

Answer 3

16 ounce=1 pound. 6 dollars=4 ounces so 16/4=4 . Multiply 6 by 4 because 6 dollars per 4 pounds so it's 24 multiply by 3 you get 72 dollars

Answer 4
