$0.7
Given sentence:
Writing as an equation:
[tex]\implies 2.4 \ \text{pounds} = \$1.68[/tex]
To obtain the cost per pound of peas, divide 2.4 both sides. This will convert the value on the L.H.S to 1 pound. The value obtained on the R.H.S will be the the cost (answer).
[tex]\implies \dfrac{2.4 \ \text{pounds}}{2.4} = \$\dfrac{1.68}{2.4}[/tex]
[tex]\implies 1 \ \text{pounds}}= \$\dfrac{1.68}{2.4}[/tex]
[tex]\implies 1 \ \text{pound} = \$0.7[/tex]
