Question

Mrs. Davis bought 6 pounds of grapes for $18. At this rate, how much would 72 ounces of grapes have cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound = 16 ounce

6 pound = 6 * 16 = 96 ounces

Cost of 96 ounces of grapes = $18

Cost of 1 ounce of grape = 18/96

Cost of 72 ounces of grape = 18*72 / 96 = 27/2

                                              = $13.50

Or

Direct Proportion because is weight increase, the cost will increase

96:18 = 72 : x

Product of means = Product of extremes

18*72 = x*96

18*72/96 = x

x =$13.50
