    Answer:

    6:35.88 = 1 pound:$5.98 = 1:5.98

    15:81.75 = 1 pound:$5.45 = 1:5.45

    Step-by-step explanation:

    – To find this divide price given by pounds given.

    – For example,

    35.88/6 and 81.75/15

    (Do the math and you should get the answers I got above.)

    – Lastly, to do this question you need to be familiar with what a ration is. It is a 1:1 account. So in this situation, this means that for that 1 pound it will cost either $5.98 or $5.45 depending on what bag you choose. It is almost like simplifying fractions, but you are just trying to find the amount for 1 of that pound or item.

    – If you need further explanation or help on more problems please let me know; I would be glad to help!
