A recipe calles for 8 oz of raisins. The raisins come in 100-gram packages. How many packages do you need to buy?

Question

I want to know the answer to this question. It has to do with proportions and ratios.

Answer 1

Hi Taylor,

 

1oz = 28.3495 gram

8oz needs 8 (28.3495) grams = 226.796 grams. Since the raisins  come in 100-gram packages, you need to buy 3 packages or 300 grams of raisins. 

 

NB: You can only buy raisins in multiples of 100.

 

Thanks,

A.
