1. The problem asks us to find the price for 1 pound of grapes given a table of prices for different weights.
2. We observe the table:
| Pounds of Grapes | Price |
|-----------------|-------|
| 3 | 4.50 |
| 11 | 16.50 |
| 13 | 19.50 |
| 1 | ? |
3. To find the price per pound, we use the formula for unit price:
$$\text{Price per pound} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Number of Pounds}}$$
4. Using the first row as an example:
$$\frac{4.50}{3} = 1.50$$
This means each pound costs 1.50.
5. To confirm, check the second row:
$$\frac{16.50}{11} = 1.50$$
And the third row:
$$\frac{19.50}{13} = 1.50$$
All confirm the price per pound is consistent.
6. Therefore, the price for 1 pound of grapes is:
$$1 \times 1.50 = 1.50$$
7. Final answer: The price for 1 pound of grapes is 1.50.
