if 5lb of cheese cost $18.50 how much would 1lb cost

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

5lb ----> $18.50 1lb ----> $18.5/5 Why? Because it when you divide price/weight you get the price of 1 unit of the weight! That means that you'll know how much 1 lb'd cost! So now if it was how much would 2 lb cost then it'd have been 18.5 * 2/5 Got it? :)
