4. Juan's Candy Emporium is having a sale. Four pounds of gummy bears are selling for $9.00. How much will two pounds cost?​

$4.50
dollars. We first need to find the unit rate of the sale, or how much one pound costs. We do this by $9/4 and get a rate of 2.25. Then we can multiply 2.25 by 2 pounds to get $4.50
