Question

Yvette uses 6 grams of tea leaves to make 24 fluid ounces of tea. Last week she made 288 fluid ounces of tea. How many grams of tea leaves did Yvette use to make tea last week? (A 0.5g) (B 1,153g) (C 72g) (D 2g)

Answer 1

6/24 = x/288
Cross Multiply these two fractions. Its also called butterfly multiplication but lets call it cross multiply.
24x = 6 multiplied by 288
24x = 1728
each side divided by 24= 72
x = 72
72 grams
