3 dollars pound because since it is 3/4 you can do: 2.25/3 and get 0.75. Thus means 0.75 is 1/4 a pound. 0.75 x 4 will get you dollars for pound. So 3

Answer:

<h2>3. Infinitely many</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}ax+by=c\\dx+ey=f\end{array}\right\\\\(1)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c=f,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right\\(2)\\\text{if}\ a=d,\ b=e,\ c\neq f,\ \text{then the system of equations has no solution}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=5\\2x-3y=-5\end{array}\right$

$(3)\\\text{if}\ a\neq d\ \text{or}\ b\neq e,\ \text{then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions}\\Example:\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-3y=5\\2x-3y=5\end{array}\right$

$\text{We have:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x=-10y+6&\text{add 10y to both sides}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+10y=6&\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+5y=3\\x+5y=3\end{array}\right$
