Question

Will spent $3.75 for 3 pounds of granola. How many pounds of granola can Will buy $10? Choose the proportion that can be used for this situation

Answer 1

Will can buy 8 pounds of granola with $10.

Explanation:

If it is $3.75 for 3 pounds of granola then it is $1.25 for 1 pound of granola.

1.25 * x = 10

this equation will allow us to find a number that will add up to 10.

Another way to write this equation is:

10/1.25 = x

10/1.25 = 8

Now check your work:

1.25 * x = 10

1.25 * 8 = 10

10 = 10

Final Answer:

Will can buy 8 pounds of granola with $10.
