Math Question: Angel paid $12 for 1LaTeX: \frac{1}{3}1 3pounds of ham at the grocery store. What is the price per pound of ham?

$12 for 1/3 pounds of ham? Or for 1 1/3 pounds = 4/3 lbs.? I'm guessing 4/3 lbs. but can work both. $12 for 4/3 lbs.: $12=4p divided both sides by 4 to see how much money for 1 p(ound): $12/4=(4/4)1p 4/4=1 so: $12/4=(1)1p $3=1p It's $3 a pound. If it's 1/3 lb for $12: $12=1/3p we multiply by 3: $12*3=(3*(1/3))p $36=(3/3)p $36=(1)p and it's $36 a pound
