• 1 pounds of pumpkin $=$ 0·88

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit Rate is the ratio between two different quantities with different units

The ratio of cost per items is

$=$  $\frac{dollars}{pounds}$

4 pounds of apples  $=$5

4 pounds $=$5

Divided 4 both the side

1 pounds of apples $=$ 1·25

$\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of cheese $=$3·50

$\frac{1}{2}$ pounds $=$3·50

Divided $\frac{1}{2}$ both the side

1 pounds of cheese $=$ 7

$\frac{3}{2}$ pounds of coffe beans $=$8·25

$\frac{3}{2}$ pounds $=$8·25

Divided $\frac{3}{2}$ both the side

1 pounds of coffee beans $=$ 5·5

$\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of fudge $=$6·75

$\frac{3}{4}$ pounds $=$6·75

Divided $\frac{3}{4}$ both the side

1 pounds of fudge $=$ 9

$\frac{25}{4}$ pounds of pumpkin is $=$5·50

$\frac{25}{4}$ pounds $=$5·50

Divided $\frac{25}{4}$ both the side

1 pounds of pumpkin $=$ 0·88
