Answer: 6 dollars per kilogram</h3>
=====================================================
Explanation:
The mixed number 4 & 1/2 converts to the decimal form 4.5
The unit price is 27/(4.5) = 6 dollars per kilogram

Dividing both parts of that ratio by 4.5 will lead to
1 kg : 6 dollars
The answer is that y is equal to zero
