Question

An artist bought four 8-oz jars for a total of 32 oz of paint. How much would he have paid for the same amount of paint if he had instead bought the 4-oz jars?

Answer 1

its 23.36

Explanation:

Answer 2

16 oz

Explanation:

This is a direct proportion.

Let y = the amount he will pay for 4-oz jars

8-oz jars = 32 oz

4-oz jars = y

Because 8-oz jars was divided by 2 to give 4-oz jars, we divide 32 oz by 2.

Therefore, y = 32/2 = 16 oz

So, the artist will pay 16 oz for four 4-oz jars.
