Answer 1

To find the unit rate or cost per pound of cheese from the given data, we need to divide the cost by the number of pounds for each entry in the table.

Here's the breakdown:

1. For 6 pounds costing $9.00:
\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{9.00}{6} = 1.50 \text{ per pound}
\]

2. For 5 pounds costing $7.50:
\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{7.50}{5} = 1.50 \text{ per pound}
\]

3. For 4 pounds costing $6.00:
\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{6.00}{4} = 1.50 \text{ per pound}
\]

4. For 3 pounds costing $4.50:
\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{4.50}{3} = 1.50 \text{ per pound}
\]

In all cases, the unit rate or cost of cheese per pound is **$1.50**.
