Question

Dominic needs 0.6 ounces of fish food to feed his fish for a month. Dominic wants to know how many ounces he needs to feed his fish for 7 months. Which is the correct proportion you could use to solve this problem?

Answer 1

The answer is 0.6*7=4.2ounces of fish food.

Explanation:

If 0.6 ounces of fish food will suffice for Dominic's fish for a month, then for 7 months he would need 7 times the food he requires for 1 month.

7*0.6=4.2 ounces of fish food.
