If seeds are 8 per pound then you need to find the unit rate and make a proportion with how much she spent. So you can make a ratio of 1 (pound) / $8 compared to x (pounds) / $10. Then, cross-multiply.

10 = 8x. Divide both sides by 8

10 / 8 = x Simplify the fraction

1 1/4 = x

So, she bought 1 1/4 pounds of seeds
