Question

2. A bag of dog food weighs 40 lb. By weight, 16% of the ingredients is turkey. Find the weight of turkey in the

dog food.

Answer 1

Ok so I did the work and it’s definitely 6.4

Answer 2

Pretty sure it's 6.4 lbs

Explanation:

We have to set up a proporion. So ?/40 and 16/100 because 16% of 100. Since we can't cross multiply 100 and ?, we have to cross multiply 16 × 40 = 640. We have 100 leftover, so 640÷100=6.4
