Answer: First Option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of per pound= $1.28

If a sack of cornmeal weighs = 4 pounds 12 ounces

First we need to convert ounces into pounds ,

as we know that ,

`1\ pound=16\ ounces\\\\1\ ounce=(1)/(16)\ pounds\\\\12\ ounces=(12)/(16)\ pounds=0.75\ pounds`

Now, total pounds of cornmeal is given by

Total cost for 4.75 pounds is given by

`4.75* 1.28=\$6.08`

So, First Option is correct.
