We want to know how much is the price per pound (or unit rate) of ground beef, given that we know the price for Elliot's purchase. We will see that each pound costs $4.75
So we know that (3 + 2/5) lb of ground beef costs $16.15, the cost of a single pound will be given by the quotient between the total cost and the amount purchased, then we need to solve:
We can rewrite the denominator as:
(3 + 2/5)lb = (15/5 + 2/5)lb = (17/5) lb
Replacing that we get:
So each pound of ground beef costs $4.75

It is difficult to give a specific answer without your scenario but maybe this may help you out a bit.
Let's say you have a line like the one attached:
I labelled certain points b and u so you can use it as a reference. Now all you need to do is count all the points that lie on the same line and are found between.
In this case it would be point d and point e because the rest of the points do not line on the same line. For this problem particular scenario, the answer would be 2.
