Answer:

[tex]1 \frac{1}{3}lb \: sausage[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

What Iike to do is make it like a ratio.

So you have one pound of sausage per 3/4lb of cheese

[tex] \frac{1lb \: sausage}{( \frac{3}{4} )lb \: cheese} = \frac{sausage}{1lb \: cheese} [/tex]

Then you just make that sausage the subject of the equation by multiplying 1lb cheese to both sides of the equation, and you have your answer.

[tex]1lb \: cheese \times \frac{1lb \: sausage}{0.75 \: lb \: cheese} = sausage[/tex]
