    Chrystelle bought 2/3 pound of ham. (given)

    She bought 3/5 * 2/3 = 2/5 pound of cheese.

    The cheese cost 4.95 per pound, so she paid 2/5*4.95 = 1.98 for the cheese.

    The ham cost 5/3 * 4.95 = 8.25 per pound, so she paid 2/3*8.25 = 5.50 for the ham.

    Her total purchase was 1.98 + 5.50 = 7.48 for the ham and cheese.

    Selections B, C, E are correct.
