Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1.39 is less than 1.5 and 3.75 is less than 4.

Hence the price of 3.75kg is going to be less than: 4*1.5=$6

Given that apples cost  $1.39 per kilogram, then the price of 3.75 kg of apples is  3.75*1.39=$ 5.2125.

Because 5.2125 is actually less than $6

This means that $6 can buy 3.75 kg of apples.
