12-oz of can green beans is sold for $1: 45. what is the price per pound?

$1.93 per lb

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the 12 oz to pounds. There are 16 oz in 1 lb (pound)

So there are 0.75 lbs in 12 oz. To solve this problem you have to use proportions.

Make sure both sides match in units (both the numerator and the denominator)  

Use cross multiplication to find the price per pound.

$1.45*1 lbs= (unknown $)*0.75 lbs

Solve $1.45*1= $1.45

Then divide $1.45 by 0.75 lbs to find the unknown $ which equals $1.93

So your answer is $1.93 per lb
