12 oz = 1.15
24 oz = 2.79
Let's see if 2x12oz is equal, less, or more than the 24oz.
1.15 x 2 = 2.30
2.30<2.79
The 12 oz is a better buy.
What you're doing is just dividing 13/8 to find the decimal (1.625) and then divide that number by 100. 162.5%
your answer is 162.5%
(5/8) × 48 = (8/15) × n
Multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of n. That inverse is 15/8.
n = (15/8)×(5/8)×48 = (75/64)×48 = 225/4 = 56 1/4
5/8 of 48 is equal to 8/15 of 56 1/4
