Answer:

So, let's figure this out!

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that:

2/3 pound metal= $6

let x=price for 1 pound of metal

So then we can make an equation like this based on that info:

[tex]\frac{2/3}{6} =\frac{1}{x}\\\frac{2}{3} x=6\\2x=18\\x=9[/tex]

There we go!

Hope this helps!

P.S. Stay Safe!
