Drinking 8 fluid ounces of milk provides 270.0 milligrams of calcium. How many fluid ounces of milk provide 72.5 milligrams of c

Margarita [4]

Set up a proportion:

$\frac{8}{270} = \frac{x}{72.5}$

The numerator represents fluid ounces of milk, and the denominator represents milligrams of calcium.

Simplify the first fraction to make multiplication easier:

$\frac{8}{270} \div \frac{2}{2} = \frac{4}{135}$
$\frac{4}{135} = \frac{x}{72.5}$

Cross multiply the fractions:

$72.5 * 4 = 290$
$135x = 290$

Divide both sides by 135 to get x by itself:

$290 \div 135 = 2.1$
$x = 2.1$

2.1 fluid ounces of milk provide 72.5 milligrams of calcium.
