Let's break down and solve the questions on the worksheet:

### 1. **What is the cost per pound?**

A customer buys 4 pounds of strawberries for $32. To find the cost per pound, divide the total cost by the number of pounds:

\[
\text{Cost per pound} = \frac{32}{4} = 8 \, \text{dollars per pound}
\]

### 2. **How many pounds do you get per dollar?**

This is the inverse of the cost per pound. Since strawberries cost $8 per pound, the number of pounds per dollar is:

\[
\text{Pounds per dollar} = \frac{1}{8} = 0.125 \, \text{pounds per dollar}
\]

### 3. **At this rate, how many pounds can you afford for $48?**

We know that 1 pound costs $8. To find how many pounds $48 will buy:

\[
\text{Pounds for } 48 \, \text{dollars} = \frac{48}{8} = 6 \, \text{pounds}
\]

### 4. **At this rate, how much will 3 pounds of strawberries cost?**

The cost per pound is $8, so to find the cost of 3 pounds:

\[
\text{Cost for 3 pounds} = 3 \times 8 = 24 \, \text{dollars}
\]

### Summary of Answers:
1. **Cost per pound**: $8
2. **Pounds per dollar**: 0.125 pounds
3. **Pounds for $48**: 6 pounds
4. **Cost for 3 pounds**: $24
