Answer:

0.8 kg of a certain fruit costs $4.8 and you want to find the cost of 4 kg.

The cost of 1 kg is


\frac{\$4.8}{0.8\operatorname{kg}}

Therefore, the cost of 4 kg would be


\frac{\$4.8}{0.8\operatorname{kg}}*4\operatorname{kg}

Hence, the expression


(4.8)/(0.8)*4

represents the cost of buying 4 kgs of a certain fruit that costs $4.8 per 0.8 kg.
