Question

The cost of 15 ounces if chees is $6.00 what is the cost of 12 ounces of cheese

Answer 1

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!
