Question

Alex determines that there are 5 chocolate candies per cubic inch. If there are 150 chocolate candies in a jar, what is the volume of the jar?

Answer 1

30 cubic inches. 150 divided by 5 is 30, giving you the answer.

Answer 2

The volume of the jar is 30 cubic inches.

5 : 1 = 150 ÷ x

5 = 150 ÷ x

x = 150 ÷ 5

x = 30
