Question

Un paquete de queso de 12 oz cuesta $1.38 ¿ Cuanto cuesta 1 Lb del mismo queso ?

Answer 1

Given:

A 12 oz package of cheese costs $ 1.38 How much does 1 Lb of the same cheese cost?

First, we will convert from Lb to an ounce

so,

1 Lb = 16 ounces

Using the ratio and proportions

Weight : Price

12 oz : $1.38

16 oz : x

So, we will find x as follows using the cross product

`x=(16)/(12)*1.38=1.84`

So, the answer will be:

The cost of 1Lb of cheese = $1.84
