The Suarez family paid $15.75 for 3 movie tickets. How much would they have paid for 12 tickets?
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.
The Martins family's truck gets an average of 25 miles per gallon.
Predict how many miles they can drive using 7 gallons of gas.
12/3 = 4
so 4 times as much.
2/6 = 1/3 as much
7 gal * ( 25 mi / gal)
gallons cancel and you get miles
C = 15.75/3tickets * 12tickets = $63.00
2. 3.60/6oz * 2oz = $1.20
To find out how much the Suarez family would have paid for 12 movie tickets, you can set up a proportion using the given information.
First, you need to find the cost of one movie ticket. To do this, divide the total amount paid ($15.75) by the number of tickets (3):
Cost per ticket = Total amount paid / Number of tickets
Cost per ticket = $15.75 / 3 = $5.25
Now that you know the cost per ticket is $5.25, you can find out how much the family would have paid for 12 tickets by multiplying the cost per ticket by the number of tickets:
Total cost for 12 tickets = Cost per ticket * Number of tickets
Total cost for 12 tickets = $5.25 * 12 = $63.00
Therefore, the Suarez family would have paid $63.00 for 12 movie tickets.
