Question

Taylin buys 5 ounces of tea leaves for $2.35. At this rate, how much money does

Answer 1

Answer:

$5.64

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution, first we need to find the rate per oz.  For 5 ounces it is 2.35 so to find the rate per oz we need to find the solution to 2.35/5

$2.35/5=.47$

tea leaves sell at a rate of 47 per oz

Now to find how many Taylin needs for 12 oz of tea we simply multiply .47 by 12

0.47 x 12=5.64

Taylin needs $5.64 to buy 12 ounces of tea leaves
