You can put this solution on YOUR website!
suppose you buy a 1.25 pound package of ham at 5.20 per pond
what fraction of a pond did you buy
how much did you spend
-----
wt/price = wt/price
1 lb/5.20 = 1.25/p
-----
price = 1.25*5.20 = $6.50 (amt. you spent)
------------------
fraction of a pound = 1.25 = 5/4
