Question

20 POINTS!!!

Tyler adds vitamin drops to the water the rabbits on the farm drink. Three drops of vitamins are added to every 4 pints. If the rabbits' water container holds 16 pints, how many drops should be added to it?

Plz tell me the proportion, how to solve it and the solution as a sentence.
Thank you :)

Answer 1

3 drops : 4 pints = x drops : 16 pints

3drops/4pints = x/16pints

(3drops/4pints)*16pints = x
*cancel pints unit*
(3drops/4)*16 = x
(16*3)drops/4 = x
48 drops / 4 = x
12 drops = x (ANSWER)
