Question

Eight hot dogs at the baseball park cost $28. How much does one hot dog cost?

(let h = price of one hot dog)

Answer 1

$3.50

Explanation:

8/28 = 1/x

set this up as a proportion

then multiply 28 by 1 and 8 by x

your equation now looks like this:

8x = 28

divide both sides by 8

x = 3.5
