1. **Problem statement:**
(a) Jose bought 14 pounds of sugar for 6 dollars. We need to find how many dollars he paid per pound of sugar.
2. **Formula:**
Unit rate = \frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total pounds}}
3. **Calculation:**
$$\text{Unit rate} = \frac{6}{14}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{6}{14} = \frac{\cancel{2} \times 3}{\cancel{2} \times 7} = \frac{3}{7}$$
5. **Convert to decimal:**
$$\frac{3}{7} \approx 0.428571...$$
6. **Round to nearest hundredth:**
$$0.43$$
7. **Answer for (a):**
Jose paid approximately 0.43 dollars per pound of sugar.

8. **Problem statement:**
(b) Yolanda runs 4 miles in 28 minutes. We need to find how many minutes she takes per mile.
9. **Formula:**
Unit rate = \frac{\text{total time}}{\text{total miles}}
10. **Calculation:**
$$\text{Unit rate} = \frac{28}{4}$$
11. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{28}{4} = \frac{\cancel{4} \times 7}{\cancel{4}} = 7$$
12. **Answer for (b):**
Yolanda takes 7 minutes per mile.
