Question

There are 680 raisins in 8 bags. If each bag has the same number of raisins, how many raisins are in 12 bags?

900 raisins

Answer 1

1020 raisins

Explanation:

The problem tells you the number of raisins is proportional to the number of bags, so there will be "r" raisins in 12 bags:

r/12 = 680/8 = raisins/bag

r = (12/8)(680) = 1020

There will be 1020 raisins in 12 bags.
