Fill in the blanks!

Let's fill in the blanks step by step.

1. **Read and analyze the problem.**
- The Fram family paid $467.25 for 17.8 pounds of carrot seeds. We want to find out how much they paid per pound.

2. **Choose the appropriate operation.**
- In this case, that operation is going to be **division**, and we know that because we're asked to calculate a unit rate, or price per **pound**.

3. **Solve the problem.**
- To find the price per pound, we need to divide the total cost by the total pounds:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = \frac{467.25}{17.8}
\]

Now we can eliminate the decimal in the divisor for easier calculation:
\[
17.8 \times 10 = 178
\]
\[
467.25 \times 10 = 4672.5
\]

Now, we calculate:
\[
\text{Price per pound} = \frac{4672.5}{178}
\]
Performing the division:
\[
4672.5 ÷ 178 ≈ 26.25
\]

4. **Estimate to check the solution.**
- The price of carrot seeds is **$26.25** per pound.

So, the complete answer filled in is:
- In this case, that operation is going to be **division**, and we know that because we're asked to calculate a unit rate, or price per **pound**.
- Multiply both values by 10 to get rid of the decimal in the divisor.
- 17.8 x 10 = **178**
- 467.25 x 10 = **4672.5**
- The price of carrot seeds is **$26.25** per pound.
