Answer 1

To find the cost per pound of ground beef, you can divide the total cost by the number of pounds for any of the entries in the table.

Using the values from the table, we can calculate it as follows:

For 10 pounds:

• Cost: $37.50
• Cost per pound: $\frac{37.50}{10}=3.75$

For 8 pounds:

• Cost: $30.00
• Cost per pound: $\frac{30.00}{8}=3.75$

For 6 pounds:

• Cost: $22.50
• Cost per pound: $\frac{22.50}{6}=3.75$

For 4 pounds:

• Cost: $15.00
• Cost per pound: $\frac{15.00}{4}=3.75$

In all cases, the cost per pound of ground beef is $3.75.
