Question

if 1.4 pounds of beef costs 3.64 dollars how much does a 1 pound costs?

Answer 1

1.4-3.64
1-x
x=3.64/1.4=2.6

Answer 2

Let us say it cost x dollars.
1.4->3.64
1->x
1.4/1=3.64/x
x=3.64/1.4

Answer 3

\[\frac{1.4 \text{beef}}{1 \text{beef}} = \frac{3.64 \text{dollars}}{x \space\text{dollars}}\]

Cancel beef and dollars to get:

\[\frac{1.4}{1} = \frac{3.64}{x}\]

Cross multiply to get
1.4x = 3.64

Divide both sides by 1.4 to get

x = 3.64/1.4
x = 2.6
