Question

Bob eats 1/4 ounce of cheese. One serving of cheese is 1 1/2 ounces. How much of a serving did he eat?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6 serving

Step-by-step explanation:

1 SERVING = 3/2 OUNCES

        x        = 1/4 OUNCES

CROSS MULTIPLY.

1 * 1/4 ( serving * ounces) = x * 3/2 (ounces)

REARRANGE, THEN DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 3/2 OUNCES TO MAKE x THE SUBJECT.

x * 3/2 (ounces) = 1 * 1/4 ( serving * ounces)

[x * 3/2 (ounces)] / 3/2 OUNCES = [1 * 1/4 ( serving * ounces)] / 3/2 OUNCES

x = (1/4) / (3/2) SERVING

x = 1/4 * 2/3 (serving)

x = 1/2 * 1/3 (serving)

x = 1/6 serving
