Answer 1

Hi Tom, if Tom used 1/3 of an ounce of cheese to make 1/12 of a pound of pizza dough, to find how many ounces he needs to made a pound of pizza dough, multiply the 1/3 ounce by 12. 

 

Number of cheese = 1/3 * 12 = 12/3 = 4

 

Tom needs 4 ounces of cheese to make a full pound of pizza dough.
