Answer:

They will need 160 cans to make 5 lbs

32 cans for 1 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

8 cans             x cans

--------------- = ---------------

1/4 lbs             5 lbs

Using cross products

8 * 5 = 1/4x

40 = 1/4 x

Multiply each side by 4

4 * 40 = 1/4 x * 4

160 =x

They will need 160 cans to make 5 lbs

8 cans             x cans

--------------- = ---------------

1/4 lbs             1 lbs

Using cross products

8 * 1 = 1/4x

Multiply each side by 4

8*4 = x

32 cans for 1 lbs
