Answer:

5.33lb of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you'd need to set up a proportion.

 

4 pounds         x poinds

----------- = -------------

9 dollars         12 dollars  

 

Then, cross multiply.

 

  9x = 4(12)

  9x = 48

    x = 48/9

 

And your answer is x = 5.33!

Hope I helped! ☺
