Solution

Step 1: Understand the problem

The problem states that bananas cost \$2.76 for 4 lb. We are asked to find the unit rate, which is the cost per pound of bananas.

Step 2: Calculate the unit rate

To find the unit rate, divide the total cost by the total weight: $\text{Unit rate} = \frac{\$2.76}{4 \, \text{lb}}$

Step 3: Perform the division

$\text{Unit rate} = \frac{2.76}{4} = 0.69 \, \text{\$/lb}$

The unit rate is \$\boxed{0.69 \, \text{\$/lb}}\$.
