Question

Crunch Bunch cereal boxes come in two sizes. The mini cereal box of Crunch Bunch is a reduction of the standard box. A standard box with height x inches and width 8 inches. A mini box with height 4 inches and width 3.2 inches. What is the height of the standard size box of Crunch Bunch? 1.6 inches 6.4 inches 10 inches 15.2 inches

Answer 1

Answer: 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions (because both boxes are equivalent in measures).

Mini box: height 4 inches and width 3.2 inches

The proportion is: 4 in (height) / 3.2 in (width)

Standard box: height x inches and width 8 inches

x in (height) / 8 in ( width)

So:

x /8= 4/ 3.2

Solving for x:

x = (4/ 3.2) 8

x = 10 inches
