What is the ratio of the cost of an 8-ounce box to a 16-ounce box of
cereal?

1:2

3:5

5:3

2:1

Answer 1

Answer: To find the ratio of the cost of an 8-ounce box to a 16-ounce box of cereal, we can divide the cost of an 8-ounce box by the cost of a 16-ounce box:

8 oz: $12

16 oz: $20

The ratio of the cost of an 8-ounce box to a 16-ounce box of cereal is:

12/20 = 3/5

So the answer is 3:5.
