Question

If you can buy eight pineapples for $32,
then how many can you buy with $16?

Answer 1

you can buy 4 pineapples

Step-by-step explanation:
since one pineapple is 4$ (i found this by doing 32/8) if you take 4 and times it by 4 you get 16. making it so you can buy 4 pineapples with 16 dollars

Answer 2

We apply rule of three

pineapples price

8_____________$ 32

x_____________$ 16

We multiply 8 * 16, and then divide by 21.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{x=(8*16)/(32)=(128)/(32)=4 }}`

Answer: With $16, you can buy 4 pineapples.
