Division is the process of finding the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. The 16-ounce container is the better buy.

<h3>What is Division?</h3>

The division is the process of finding the number of times a number is multiplied by itself.

The prices of the different size containers are given to us,

4-5 ounce containers for $5. 00

1-12 ounce container for $3. 24

1-16 ounce container for $4. 19

Now, find the cost of the cheese per ounce when we buy the minimum cheese and when we but the maximum amount of cheese.

1.   For the first Container, 4-5 ounce containers for $5.00

If we buy 4 ounces of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $1.25 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 5 ounces for $5 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $1.

2.  For, the second container, 1-12 ounce container for $3.24

If we buy 1 ounce of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $3.24 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 5 ounces for $5 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $0.27.

3.  For, the third container, 1-16 ounce container for $4.19.

If we buy 1 ounce of cheese, then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $4.19 for each ounce, while if we buy the maximum amount of cheese therefore 16 ounces for $4.19 then the cost of each ounce of cheese will be $0.26.

Thus, if we buy the maximum amount of cheese from each of the boxes, the third box will be the cheapest.

Hence, The 16-ounce container is the better buy.

Sav [38]
S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2

check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5
