Hi!

We will solve this using proportions. Let x be the cost for 12 ounces of cheese. We will start like this:

15 ounces : 6 $ = 12 ounces : x $

x $ = (6 $ * 12 ounces)/15 ounces

x $ = 72 $/15

x = 4,8$

The cost of 12 ounces of cheese is 4,8$.

Hope this helps!

Find the greatest common factor for pair 18,36

The GCF of 18 and 36 is 18. To solve this, use the picture attached. After creating the boxes, find a number that both 18 and 36 can be divided by, for example, 9. Now that you have 9, divide both 18 and 36 by 9. That equals 2 and 4. Place the numbers underneath the boxes you made previously and find another number that both 2 and 4 are divisible by. 2 and 4 are both able to be divided into 2. Do 2 divided by 2 and 4 divided by 2. Now you have the numbers 1 and 2. There aren't any numbers that can be divided into 1 and 2, so now you are left with the numbers 9 and 2. Multiply the numbers together to get a GCF of 18. Hope this helped!
