14. Drinking 7 fluid ounces of milk provides 236.25 milligrams of calcium. How many fluid ounces of milk are required to provide 67.5 milligrams of calcium? Round to the nearest tenth.
A. 1.7 fluid ounces
B. 2.0 fluid ounces
C. 2.5 fluid ounces
D. 2.3 fluid ounces

Answer 1

Answer to 12: C.

Explanation: By dividing 60 by 15 you get 4 and by dividing 32 by 8 you get 4. 15 and 8 both go into it evenly so that is the answer.

Answer to 14: B

Explanation: when you divide 236.25 by 7 you get 33.75 and then multiply that by 2 and you get 67.7 so you know 2 fluid ounces of milk contain 67.7 mg of calcium

sorry i couldnt answer 13

Answer 2

12.

Ratios that can form a proportion with 15/8 are those that are equivalent fractions. In this case, 60/32 can form a proportion with 15/8, because they are equivalent, if we simplify 60/32 we would have 15/8, because 60/4=15 and 32/4=8.

Therefore, the right answer is C.

13.

Here we apply the same definition, a proportion is an equality between two fractions. In this case, the ratios that can form a proportion are A. 9/45, 8/40, because both fractions are equivalent to 0.2.

14.

To solve this problem, we can apply the rule of three, if 7 ounces of milk provides 236.25 milligrams of calcium, how many ounces of milf would provide 67.5 milligrams of calcium.

`67.6 \ mgCa(7 \ oz)/(236.25 \ mgCa)= 2.00 oz`

Therefore, the right answer is B.
