Answer:

0.8 kg of a certain fruit costs $4.8 and you want to find the cost of 4 kg.

The cost of 1 kg is

$\frac{\$4.8}{0.8\operatorname{kg}}$

Therefore, the cost of 4 kg would be

$\frac{\$4.8}{0.8\operatorname{kg}}*4\operatorname{kg}$

Hence, the expression

represents the cost of buying 4 kgs of a certain fruit that costs $4.8 per 0.8 kg.
