Question

6. There are approximately 210 M&M’s in a 7-ounce bag of M&M’s.

a. Write and solve a proportion that you can use to find the number of
M&M’s in a 3-ounce bag.

b. What is the number of M&M’s per ounce?

c. Approximately how many ounces does each M&M weigh? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

(210/7) * 3 = 90 m&ms in 3 ounces
30 m&ms per ounce cause 210/7 = 30
each m&m weighs 1/30 of an ounce which
is 0.03 rounded to the nearest 100th

Answer 2

A: (210/7) * 3 = 90 m&ms in 3 ounces

B: 30 m&ms per ounce since 210/7 = 30

C: each m&m weighs 1/30 of an ounce which is 0.03 (i rounded to the hundreths)

hope this helps :)
