Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The price for a particular herb is 49 cents for 6 ounces.

i.e. 6 ounces= 49 cents

1 ounce= 49/6 cents

1 pound=16 ounces

1 ounce= 1/16 pounds

1/16 pounds= 49/6 cents

1 pound= [tex]\dfrac{49\times 16}{6}[/tex] cents

1 pound= 130.667 cents

also 1 dollar= 100 cents

1 cent= 1/100 dollars

1 pound= 130.667/100 dollars

            = 1.30667 dollars

Hence, price of the herb in dollars per pound is:

1.30667 dollars per pound
