Question

THere are 64 pretzels in a 16 ounce bag of chocolate covered pretzels. A.how many chocolate covered pretzels are in a 5 ounce bag

Answer 1

64 pretzels in a 16 oz bag
1 oz will contain 64/16 pretzels = 4
5 oz will therefore contain 4 x 5 = 20 pretzels

Answer 2

The best way to do this is to find how many pretzels are in a one ounce bag, and then multiply this by the answer that you're looking for. In this case, you have to divide 64 by 16, giving you 4. Therefore, there are 4 pretzels in one ounce. Yu then have to multiply 4 by 5, giving ou 20. Therefore, in a five ounce bag of pretzels, there are 20 pretzels
