Explanation:

to find a its

if 12 times 5 equals 60 then theres 60 ounces left if you use 4 boxes you divide 60 by 4 and get 15

Answer 2

Keep in mind you would need a total of 120 ounces.
A: Corn cereal comes in 12 oz boxes and the person used 5 boxes, thus taking 60 oz away from the total, leaving 60 oz. Next, you’d have to divide 60 oz by 4 (since that’s how many boxes of wheat cereal were used). Resulting in a wheat box being worth 15 ounces!!
B: 12c+ 15w= 120 (c= corn cereal, w= wheat cereal)
C: 5 boxes of corn cereal with 4 boxes of wheat cereal; 0 boxes of corn cereal with 8 boxes of wheat cereal; 10 boxes of corn cereal with 0 boxes of wheat cereal.
