What is it you need help with?
I don't know
@KJSaif You there? I'm putting together the problem.
When I encounter these problems, I usually try to turn the first number into 1 and multiply the second number by it. 1 and 2/5 is 7/5, so we multiply $3.36 by 5, then we have 7 lbs, and divide that by 7 to get the price of 1lb. Multiply that by 2 3/4 to find the answer. (Sorry for bad formatting)
Ill change the mixed fractions to improper ones to work with... Given --- 7/5 lb = $3.36 How much does 11/4 lb cost?? You can multiply by the given ratio, it is the same as multiplying by `1 \[\frac{ 11/4~~lb }{ 1 }*\frac{ $3.36 }{ 7/5~lb }\]
notice it is arranged so the lb unit cancels from top and bottom, leaving Dollars
6.6?
or no?
