Step-by-step explanation:

Unit Rate is the ratio between two different quantities with different units

The ratio of cost per items is

[tex]=[/tex]  [tex]\frac{dollars}{pounds}[/tex]

4 pounds of apples  [tex]= \[/tex]5

4 pounds [tex]= \[/tex]5

Divided 4 both the side

1 pounds of apples [tex]=[/tex] [tex]\[/tex]1·25

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds of cheese [tex]= \[/tex]3·50

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds [tex]= \[/tex]3·50

Divided [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] both the side

1 pounds of cheese [tex]=[/tex] [tex]\[/tex]7

[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] pounds of coffe beans [tex]= \[/tex]8·25

[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] pounds [tex]= \[/tex]8·25

Divided [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] both the side

1 pounds of coffee beans [tex]=[/tex] [tex]\[/tex]5·5

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of fudge [tex]= \[/tex]6·75

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds [tex]= \[/tex]6·75

Divided [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] both the side

1 pounds of fudge [tex]=[/tex] [tex]\[/tex]9

[tex]\frac{25}{4}[/tex] pounds of pumpkin is [tex]= \[/tex]5·50

[tex]\frac{25}{4}[/tex] pounds [tex]= \[/tex]5·50

Divided [tex]\frac{25}{4}[/tex] both the side

1 pounds of pumpkin [tex]=[/tex] [tex]\[/tex]0·88
