you make homemade pop balm. About 11% of the lip balm is made from beeswax. You make 4 2/5 teaspoons of the lip balm. About how many teaspoons of beeswax do you need? Round your answer to the nearest 10th.

We find how many teaspoons of beeswax we need for 4 2/5(or 22/5) teaspoons of lip balm by multiplying that by 11%. We get 2.42/5, which is ≈ 0.5 teaspoons of beeswax, to the nearest tenth.
