11 If 1 lb of cherries costs 32 p, how much do 2 lb, 3 lb, 10 lb, 437 lb of cherries cost?
111 Continue the table and complete the statement. Calculations:
1 lb → 32 p
2 lb → 2 × 32 p = 64 p
3 lb → 3 32 p = 96 p
10 lb → 10 32 p = 320 p = £3.20
437 lb → 437 32 p = 13 984 p = £139.84
The costs are in direct proportion to one another.
