Answer:

$3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's split 2.5 into 2 separate parts, 2 and .5. To find how much 2 pounds of apples cost, we have to multiply  $1.40 by 2. 1.40x2= 2.80. Now we have to figure out how much .5 pounds. To do this, we have to divide 1.40 by 2. We get .7. 2.80+ .7= $3.50 [or 3.5]
