Question

If an 8 oz. can of vegetables cost $1.50, how much would you expect a 21 oz. can of vegetables to cost at the same rate? Please explain please.

Answer 1

$3.94

Explanation:

What we know:

An 8 oz. can costs $1.50

What we don't know:

How much a 21 oz. can costs

How to solve:

21 ÷ 8 = 2.625

So, multiply 1.5 by 2.625

1.5 · 2.625 = 3.9375

3.9375 ≈ $3.94

Solution:

A 21 oz. can costs about $3.94
