A 20 ounce box of Oats a raisins cereal has 144 raisins inside of it. How many raisins should a 35 ounce box have?

Answer 1

R/35 = 20/144 = 5/36 cross multiply

5R = 36(35) divide by 5

R = 36(7) = 252 raisins in a 35 ounce box

35 is almost twice 20, so 252 is almost twice 144, eac a little less.
