Final answer:

The possible costs for the premium prosciutto, which costs ten times the oven-roasted turkey (priced between $4.50 and $6.00), are $45.00/lb, $50.00/lb, and $55.00/lb. The option of $60.00/lb is incorrect because it does not fall within the given range for the turkey's price.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question involves finding the possible costs for a product based on given conditions. The conditions stated are that the premium prosciutto costs ten times as much as the oven-roasted turkey, which has a price between $4.50/lb and $6.00/lb.

To list 5 possible costs for the prosciutto, we multiply various possible costs for the oven-roasted turkey within the given range by ten to get the corresponding cost for the prosciutto per pound. Since we are given four options, let's evaluate them:

  • $45.00/lb: This is ten times $4.50, so it's a possible cost.
  • $50.00/lb: This would imply the turkey costs $5.00/lb, which is within the given range, hence a possible cost.
  • $55.00/lb: This suggests the turkey costs $5.50/lb, again within the given range, making it a possible cost.
  • $60.00/lb: This would mean the turkey costs $6.00/lb, which is the upper limit and not within the range expressed as "higher than $4.50/lb but lower than $6.00/lb," so this is not a possible cost.

Therefore, the correct answers for possible costs for the premium prosciutto are $45.00/lb, $50.00/lb, and $55.00/lb.
