Hello!

The word per means to divide. We have the price, $2.05, and our pounds, 5. Therefore, we divide the two to find the price per pound.

2.05/5=0.41

Therefore, each pound costed $0.41.

I hope this helps!

We can use the ratio 2.05/5 to represent the price for 5 pounds. To find the price per pound, we would divide 2.05 by 5.

2.05 /5 .41

=

5 /5 1

It is $0.41 per a pound of flour.
