8.

If you set up the problem as a ratio and cross multiply, you will find that you may buy 8 lemons for 60 cents.

Set up the equation like this:

2/15 to x/60.
Multiply 2 with 60, then proceed to divide by 15 in order to find x.

Hope this helps!

The answer you are looking for is 8 lemons.

This is because the question states 2 lemons are bought with 15 cents. 15 fits into 60 4 times, meaning you could buy 4 sets of 2 lemons, or 8 lemons.

I hope this helps!
