Question

Solve the proportion. Choose all of the correct solutions from the given choices. n/4 sticks of butter = 6 dozen cookies/3 sticks of butter

A. 4· 3=12
12· 6=72
72 dozen cookies
B. I did 4/ 3 on my calculator and got 1.333333333. When I multiply that by 6, I get 8.
The answer is 8 dozen cookies.
C. Cross multiply and divide:
4· 6=24
24/ 3=8
8 dozen cookies
D. 4· 6=24
24· 3=72
72 dozen cookies
E. 6 dozen cookies divided by 3 sticks of butter means 2 dozen cookies for each stick of butter used.

Answer 1

To solve the proportion n/4 sticks of butter = 6 dozen cookies/3 sticks of butter, cross multiply and divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the proportion n/4 sticks of butter = 6 dozen cookies/3 sticks of butter, we cross multiply and divide. First, cross multiplying gives us 3(n) = 4(6 dozen cookies). Simplifying this equation, we get 3n = 24 dozen cookies. Next, we divide both sides by 3 to solve for n. So n = 8 dozen cookies. Therefore, the correct solution is C. Cross multiply and divide: 4 · 6 = 24, 24 / 3 = 8 dozen cookies.
