Question

Isaac used ¼ of an ounce of nuts to make 1/16 of a pound cake. How many ounces of nuts are there per cake?

Answer 1

`4` ounces of nuts are there per cake.

Explanation:

Given Isaac used
`(1)/(4)` of an ounce of nuts to make
`(1)/(16)` of a pound cake.

We need to find ounces of nuts per cake.

We can see that
`(1)/(16)` pound of the cake made by
`(1)/(4)` ounce of nuts.

We will multiply both side by
`16`.

So,
`(16* 1)/(16)=1` pound of cake will be made by
`(1)/(4)* 16=4` ounces of nuts.

So, there are
`4` ounces of nuts there per cake.
