Answer:

d 1 pound for $4

Explanation:

The unit rate is in dollars per pound.

The word "per" is related to a division division.

To find dollars per pound, you need to divide the number of dollars by the number of pounds.

$(\$20.00)/(5~lb) =$

Now we divide 20 by 5 and get 4.

$= (\$4)/(lb)$

$20 for 5 pounds is a unit rate of $4/lb, $4 per pound.

That means 1 pound for $4.

Answer: d. 1 pound for $4
