Couple of ways to answer this....first way is to put both these values into a ratio ---> so 4 pounds/$1.6 = 10 pounds/$X, when you cross-multiply, you get 4X=$16, solve for X=$4. So, 10 pounds cost $4. Another way to solve this proble, is to recognize that 10 pounds is 2.5 times 4 pounds, so multiple $1.6 by 2.5 and you get $4.

1.60 divided by 4 = .40 per pound. 4 pounds at .40 per pound = $4.00

Let x=price per lb. of bananas
4x=1.60 so x=.4 so 10 lbs. x .40= $4.00 dollars for 10 lbs. of bananas.

four pounds cost $1.60 so one pound cost $.40. so ten pounds cost $4.00.
1.60/4=.40 .40*10=4.00

4 lbs x 2.5 = 10 lbs
$1.60 x 2.5 = $4.00

If 4lb = $1.60
Then 1lb = ($1.60) / 4 = $0.40
Multiply the 1lb by 10. ($0.40)(10) = $4.00
10lb will cost $4.00
