Answer:

one pound of apples costs $2

Step-by-step explanation:

that is because when you divide 10 by 5 you get 2

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]
