Victoria has 2.50 pounds of bell peppers and the cost is $1.25. what is the price for 1 pound of bell peppers?

The price of one pound of bell peppers is $0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is equivalent to the following:

"if 10 oranges cost $20, how much does 1 orange cost? "

and the answer to that question is:

price of 1 orange  = $20/ 10 oranges = $2 per orange.

Put simply, we divided the total price by the total number of items, and we shall do the same thing for the case of bell peppers:

price of 1 pound  = $1.25/ 2.5 pounds = $0.5/ pound.

The price for 1 pound of bell peppers is $0.5.
