We can use a rule of three simple, direct proportion to solve this problem.
15 pounds correspond to $1.80, then the question is to find the price of one pound, the called unit rate. We state the rule of three:
15 pound ----> $1.80
1 pound -----> x
x = (1)(1.80)/15
x = 0.12
Therefore, each pound costs $0.12 that is the unit rate in pounds

Answer:
2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say our fraction is x = 0.1818181818...
The trick is to multiply x by 10²=100 in this case, since there are two repeating digits, and then subtract the original x.
So, in fact you are subtracting 0.181818 from 18.181818 which effectively cancels the entire bit after the decimal point.
You get:
100x - x = 18
Which you can solve:
99x = 18
x = 18/99 = 2/11
