If you can buy 4/5 of a pound of ham for 3 dollars, how much can you purchase for 10 dollars? Write your answer as a fraction of a pound.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "You can find pounds per dollar by dividing 4/5 by 3.
\n" ); document.write( "Then find 10 times that.
\n" ); document.write( "==============
\n" ); document.write( "You can use a proportion:
\n" ); document.write( "(4/5)/3 = P/10 where P is the pounds for $10.
\n" ); document.write( "
