Answer:
$2
Step-by-step explanation:
So, 5 lbs. of apples = $10
[tex]\frac{1}{5} =\frac{x}{10}[/tex]
Then, you have to do cross products
5x=10
Divide each side by 5...
5x/5=10/5
x=2
Each pound of apples costs $2.
If you want to check your work, fill in the proportion.
[tex]\frac{1}{5}= \frac{2}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
