If you can buy 1⁄3 of a pound of turkey for 4 dollars, how much can you purchase for 10 dollars? Write your answer as a fraction of a pound

5/6 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

1/3 lbs             x lbs

=

4 dollars           10 dollars

Using cross products

1/3 * 10 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

10/3 * 1/4 = 4x/4

10/12 = x

Simplifying

5/6 =x
