Answer 1

To find the cost for 1 pound of ground beef, we can calculate the cost per pound by taking the cost at a known weight and dividing it by the weight.

From the table, we see that:

• For 10 pounds, the cost is $37.50.

We can calculate the cost per pound as follows:

\[ \text{Cost per pound} = \frac{\text{Cost}}{\text{Weight}} = \frac{37.50}{10} = 3.75 \]

Thus, the cost for 1 pound of ground beef is $3.75.
