Question

Frank bought 5 pounds of dog food for 8.75. At this rate how much would he pay for 8 pounds

Answer 1

$14

you need to set up a preportion

if 5 lbs costs 8.75 then we need to figure out how much 8 lbs cost, obviously lol.

anyways what ya finna do is make a fraction

5                  8

---        =      ----

8.75             x

then u cross multiply. 8 x 8.75 = 70

70 = 5x

x= $14
