If you can buy 48 plaintains for $24 then how many can you buy with $4 ?

Answer 1

8 plantains

Explanation:

48=$24

x=. $4

192=24x , x= 192÷24= 8

Answer 2

8 plantains

Explanation:

Cost and number of plantains are in proportion

Number of plantains that can be bought for $ 4 be 'x'

48 : 24 :: x : 4

Product of means = product of extremes

24 * x = 48*4

`x = (48*4)/(24)`

x = 2 * 4

x = 8
