Answer:

2 lbs. for $4.50

Explanation:

Do a ratio

2 : 4.50

You want to see how much it cost per pound, so divide them by 2

2 ÷ 2 : 4.50 ÷ 2

1 : 2.25

So per pound, the hamburger will cost $ 2.25

________________________________________________________

3 : 6.90

You want to see how much it cost per pound, so all you need to do is divide them by 3

3 ÷ 3 : 6.90 ÷ 3

1 : 2.3

So for the first one, it cost 2.25 per pound, and for the second one, it cost 2.3 per pound....the one that is better will be 2.25 because it cost 5 cents less than the second one

Hope this helped!
