Answer; 5/4

Explanation:
First of, 4/5 pounds equals to $1 so they're asking us to find one pound. We first Cross multiply. 4/5 equal $1
1 =. $x
You will get one pound is equal to 4/5 x then you multiply 5 on both sides to get 5 equals 4X then you divide by 4 on both side to get 5/4 dollars and make sure your answer has the initial dollar$
