Mom paid $2.40 for \(\frac{3}{4}\) pound of cereal. How much is that per pound?

($2.40) divided by (3/4) is the same thing as ($2.40) times (4/3) .
($2.40) x (4/3) = ($9.60) / 3 = $3.20

Mom paid $3.20 per pound for the cereal. This was determined by dividing the total cost of $2.40 by 4 3 ​ pound and finding the equivalent price per pound. The calculation shows that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
