First, get common denominators
At the same time, turn these into mixed numbers
27/8 + x = 44/8
Subtract 27/8 from both sides
x = 2 1/8 pounds
Let’s x be how many more pounds the baby needs

A 6-pack of capri-Suns costs $8.80 .How much would a 24-pack cost if the costs are proportional

andrew11 [14]

Now, in a 6-pack, there are 6 bottles, 6-pack.

in a 24-pack, there are 24 bottles, 24-pack.

so, if 6 bottles, cost 8.80, how much will it be for 24 bottles then?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
bottles&price\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
6&8.80\\
24&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{6}{24}=\cfrac{8.80}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{24\cdot 8.80}{6}$
