Question

The average american eats about 30 pounds of cheese per year. this is 3/5 the amount eaten by the average french person. how many pounds of cheese does a french person eat in one year?

Answer 1

Since 3/5 of 30 is 18 It should be the answer. That's is the number that represents how much the average French eats.

Answer 2

3/5 = 30
divide both sides by 3
1/5 = 10
multiply both sides by 5
5/5 = 59
