Question

samuel used 1/5 of an ounce of butter to make 1/15 of a pound if jelly, how many ounces of butter are needed to make a pound of jelly?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 ounces of nuts

(1/4) / (1/12) = x / 1 cross multiply

1/4 = 1/12 x divide both sides by 1/12

x =1/4 / 1/12

x =1/4 x 12/1

x =12/4

x = 3 ounces of nuts.
