Question

5. Mr. Jones bought 5 1/2 kilograms of flour for $8.25.Tell whether each statement is True or False$1.00 can purchase 4/6 kilogram of floura. Trueb. False

Answer 1

5.5 kilograms of flour= $8.25

How many kilograms can purchase= $1

We can solve this by proportional relationships:

`\begin{gathered} (8.25)/(5.5)=(1)/(x) \\ 8.25x=5.5 \\ x=(5.5)/(8.25) \\ x=(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

$1 can purchase 2/3 kilogram of flour, 2/3 it's the same as 4/6. So the statement is true.
