To find the unit rate of cheese per pound, you need to divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.
In this case, the cost for 3 pounds of cheese is $4.50.
To find the unit rate per pound:
\[
\text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Weight}} = \frac{4.50}{3}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\frac{4.50}{3} = 1.50
\]
So, the unit rate for cheese is **$1.50 per pound**.
