Question

The grocery store is having a sale. For every 3 sticks of butter purchased, customers receive 1 free wedge of cheese. If the Crazy 80s Baby Jr. Buys 12 sticks of butter, how many free wedges of cheese will she receive?

Answer 1

4 free wedges of cheese

Explanation:

From the above question:

3 sticks of butter purchased = 1 free wedge of cheese

12 sticks of butter purchased = x

Cross Multiply

3 × x = 12 × 1

x = 12/3

x = 4 free wedges of cheese

Therefore, when Baby Jr. Buys 12 sticks of butter, she will receive 4 free wedges of cheese.
