Question

Joe has 15 bags of chips and 0.6 of the bags are Sour Cream and Onion. How many
of Joe's chip bags are Sour Cream and Onion?

Answer 1

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: There are multiple ways to solve this.

One way is to simply multiply 0.6 by 15, getting you 9.

Another way is to use proportions. 0.6 is the same as 3/5, and we need to find n in 3/5 = n/15. We can do this by cross-multiplying, getting us 45/5=9
