Set it up in a proportion.

8 (oil)/5 (salad dressing) = x/7
cross multiply to get 11.2

8/5=x/7
(8*7)=5x
56=5x
56/5=5x/5

Erin has 5 cans of juice and drinks 1/3 of a can daily. in how many days will she empty all the cans she has? I think it's 1/15

In-s [12.5K]

The correct answer to your question is 15 days because if she drinks 1/3 of a can a day it will take 3 days to drink one can. Now multiple the 3 days for one can by the 5 cans and you get 15 days to finish all of the cans.
