The correct answer is D. However, I want to learn how to solve this equation and mainly set up an equation if that is what is needed to solve the problem so I can do it on an exam. Thanks.
i'm cheating on my hw with this.
4.68/0.72 = x/1
Cross multiply and solve for x
0.72x = 4.68
x = 6.50
I dont get it
I don't understand
the correct answer is d because you divide the cost (4.68) by the number of pounds (0.72) to get $6.50.
hope this helped some of you!

The answer to Mark pays $4.68 for 0.72 of a pound of almonds. Based on this cost ratio, which statement is true?
To solve this problem and determine the rate per pound of almonds that Mark pays, we need to set up a proportion based on the given information.
We know that Mark pays $4.68 for 0.72 of a pound of almonds. Let's define the unknown rate per pound of almonds as x.
So, we can set up the proportion:
$4.68 / 0.72 pounds = x dollars / 1 pound
To solve for x, we need to cross multiply and then divide:
(0.72 pounds) * (x dollars) = ($4.68) * (1 pound)
0.72x = 4.68
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.72:
x = 4.68 / 0.72
Simplifying the division gives us:
x ≈ 6.5
Therefore, Mark pays a rate of $6.50 per pound of almonds. Thus, the correct answer is D.
