1. The Suarez family paid $15.75 for 3 movie tickets. How much would they have paid for 12 tickets?
$15.75/3=$5.25 for 1 ticket
$5.25 x 12=$63.00 for 12 tickets
2. A grocery store sells snacks by weight. A six ounce bag of mixed nuts costs $3.60. Predict the cost of a two ounce bag.
$3.60/2=$1.80 would be the cost of a 2 ounce bag.
Can you please double check my answer?
Thank you
What did I do wrong on number two?
$3.60 * (2/6) = $1.20
Thank you for explaining this. I believe I understand the problem for number two a little bit better.
1. Yes, your calculation is correct. The Suarez family paid $5.25 for 1 movie ticket, so they would have paid $5.25 multiplied by 12, which equals $63.00 for 12 tickets.
2. I'm sorry, but there seems to be a mistake in your calculation. To find the cost of a two ounce bag, we need to calculate the price per ounce and then multiply it by the weight of the bag.
The equation should be:
Price per ounce = $3.60 / 6 = $0.60 per ounce
Now, we can find the cost of a two ounce bag:
Cost of a two ounce bag = $0.60 per ounce x 2 ounces = $1.20
Therefore, the cost of a two ounce bag would be $1.20.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
1. Yes
2. No
