Answer:  2.4 pounds per dollar

Explanation:

We can set up the ratio

12 pounds : 5 dollars

Then divide both parts of that ratio by 5 so that the "5 dollars" becomes "1 dollar"

  • 12/5 = 2.4
  • 5/5 = 1

The ratio 12 pounds : 5 dollars is equivalent to 2.4 pounds : 1 dollar

2 pounds per dollar.
