1. **State the problem:** Will spends 3.75 for 3 pounds of granola. We want to find out how many pounds of granola Will can buy for 10. 2. **Formula:** To solve this, we use the unit rate formula: $$\text{Unit price} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total pounds}}$$ 3. **Calculate the unit price:** $$\text{Unit price} = \frac{3.75}{3}$$ 4. **Simplify the fraction:** $$\text{Unit price} = \frac{\cancel{3.75}}{\cancel{3}} = 1.25$$ So, the price per pound is 1.25. 5. **Find how many pounds can be bought for 10:** Let $x$ be the number of pounds Will can buy for 10. Using the formula: $$1.25 \times x = 10$$ 6. **Solve for $x$:** $$x = \frac{10}{1.25}$$ 7. **Simplify the division:** $$x = \frac{\cancel{10}}{\cancel{1.25}} = 8$$ **Final answer:** Will can buy **8 pounds** of granola for 10.
