Explanation:

To find out how many pieces you would expect in a 10-ounce package of fruit snacks, you can set up a proportion based on the ratio of ounces to pieces in the 6-ounce package:

(6 ounces / 45 pieces) = (10 ounces / x pieces)

Now, solve for x:

Cross-multiply:

6 ounces * x pieces = 45 pieces * 10 ounces

6x = 450

Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:

x = 450 / 6

x = 75

So, you would expect approximately 75 pieces in a 10-ounce package of fruit snacks.
