Answer:

Table shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem let's use proportions.

If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price

For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.

Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds

The cost of 0.33 pounds of grapes is $1 and 1 pound of grapes is $3.

The cost of two pounds of grapes is given in the question that is $6.

We need to complete the table that is given in the question.

Part (1)

We need to determine, how much pounds we have for the price of $1.

Therefore,

2 pounds of grapes cost is $6.

Thus,

[tex]\$ 6=2\;\rm{pounds}\\\$ 1= 0.33 \;\rm{pounds}[/tex]

Part (2)

We need to determine the cost of 1 pound grapes.

Thus,

[tex]\$ 6=2\;\rm{pounds}\\\$ 3= 1\;\rm{pound}[/tex]

Thus, the cost of 0.33 pounds of grapes is $1 and 1 pound of grapes is $3.
