Answer 1

Divide 5.20 by 4.16 which should give you 1.25 hopefully that helped.

Answer 2

we know that

Carrie buys
`4.16` pounds of apples for $
`5.20` how much does
`1` pound cost

by proportion

`(5.20)/(4.16) (dollars)/(pound) =(x)/(1) (dollars)/(pound) \\ \\ x=(5.2)/(4.16) \\ \\ x=1.25\ dollars`

therefore

the answer is

The cost of one pound is equal to
`1.25\ dollars`
