Question

Last week, a chocolate shop sold 4 7/8 ounces of white chocolate. It sold 3 times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate. How many ounces of milk chocolate did the shop sell?

Answer 1

amt. of chocolate sold:
milk
white ⬜️ (since 3 times of milk chocolate was sold)

hence to find 1 unit, we divide 4 7/8 by 4,
(4 7/8) / 4 = 1 7/32

3 units = 1 7/32 x 3 = 3 21/32
The shop sold 3 21/32 ounces of milk chocolate.

Answer 2

3 21/32 oz.

Explanation:

4 7/8 = 39/32

39/32 x 2 = 117/32 = 3 21/32 ounces
