Question

Need help with 6th grade math

Answer 1

1 kilogram of baking soda costs $4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will follow the steps bellow:

Using proportion;

Let x be the cost of 1 kg of baking soda

kilogram = $ 2

1 kilogram  = x

Cross - multiply

 ×  x  = $2  ×   1

 ×  x    = $2

= $2

Multiply both-side of the equation by 9

× 9= $2 × 9

At the left-hand side of the equation 9 will cancel-out 9, hence our equation becomes

4x = $18

Divide both-side of the equation by 4

 = $

x   = $4.5
