i have a question for math can you help me

Question

A 6-ounce package of fruit snacks contains 45 pieces. How many pieces would you expect in a 10-ounce package?

Answer 1

What we have here is a ratio problem:

⁴⁵/₆ = ^x/₁₀

Multiply both sides by 10:

^{45 * 10}/₆ = x

10 and 6 have a 2 in common, so those can be factored out:

^{45 * 5}/₃ = x

45 and 3 have a 3 in common, so those too can be factored out:

15 * 5 = x

75 pieces are to be expected.
