The heights of the animal and the length of the shadows are in proportion: we have that

dog's height : dog's shadow length = cat's height : cat's shadow length

Plug in the values and solve for the cat's height (which we'll call x):

2\div 3=x\div 1 \iff 3x=2 \iff x=\dfrac{2}{3}

Answer:

For 1 pound that would $9.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound and Sally paid for 4 with $2.40, what you have to do is take that total and times it by how many you need to times the ounces by to get a pound which would be 4.

4 x 4 = 16

$2.40 x 4

Which would equal

$9.20
