14.24/16 = 0.89 ^^ correct...its 89 cents per lb....because if you multiplied 0.89 * 16, you would get 14.24

14.24 / 16 = 0.89

Answer 4

Price per pound.
Price is in dollars. Pound is the weight, and it is in pounds.
"per" suggests division.
Price per pounds means the unit cost per pound.
Divide the price in dollars by the weight in pounds.

Answer 6

\(\dfrac{$14.24}{16~lb} = 0.89 \dfrac{$}{lb} \)

Notice that the units come out correctly in dollars per pound.
