$8.49 for 1 pound, so  $16.98 for 2 pounds
Hello! If each pound of roast beef costs $8.49, two pounds of roast beef will cost $16.98.
To solve this, I set up a fraction of cost/pounds.
[tex] \frac{8.49}{1} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{x}{2} [/tex]
To find the cost for 2 pounds, multiply the numerator by 2.
[tex] \frac{16.98}{2} [/tex]

Hope this helps! :)
