1 Answer

2 votes

Answer:

1$/2.5lb

Explanation:

This is a fraction equal to 5 pounds / 2 dollars

We want a unit rate where 1 is in the denominator, so we have to divide the top and bottom by 2.

5 pounds / 2

2 dollars / 2

This should progress to

2.5 pounds/a dollar

This means that the unit rate is 2.5 pounds per dollar.
