Question

One box of crackers costs $1.75. The crackers are advertised as “3 boxes for $5.25.” Which proportion can be used to represent the cost of the crackers?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}=0.33$    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One box of crackers costs $1.75. The crackers are advertised as “3 boxes for $5.25.”

To find : Which proportion can be used to represent the cost of the crackers?

Solution :

The cost of 1 box is = $1.75

The cost of 3 boxes is = $5.25

A proportion is when two ratios are equal.

Ratio of boxes is equal to the ratio of cost of crackers.

Therefore,  1 : 3 = 1.75 : 5.25    

In Proportion it can be written as $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1.75}{5.25}$

This is true also, as $\frac{1}{3}=0.33$

$\frac{1.75}{5.25}=0.33$

Answer 2

A.  1/1.75 = 3/5.25
