Hello!

a) 6 pounds

$9 is three times the cost we are given. Therefore, we multiply our original two pounds by three, giving us 6.

b) You would not be able to

There are 16 ounces in a pound. If each one weighs 5 ounces, it would be 5/16 of a pound. This would be 5/16 of $1.5, which is about 0.47. If we multiply this by 24 oranges, we get a cost 11.28, which is more than $9.
