Question

A farm stand sold 12 ears of corn for $4. The farm stand sold 180 ears of corn at the same rate.

How much money did the farm stand earn by selling ears of corn?

Answer 1


The farm stand made 60 dollars by selling each ear of corn for 1/3 of a dollar. All you have to do is divide 180 by 12 and then times that by 4.

Answer 2

Divide 4 by 12, which equals approximately 0.33333, then multiply that to 180, which gives us 60. So she sold 180 ears of corn for $60.
