Answer:
Y = X times 0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You set it up as a proportionality
12/1 and 3.36/x
The x stands for how much money it takes to get 1 ounce
2. You do the old man line.
12 times x = 3.36 times 1
12x = 3.36
3. Now you divide 3.36 by 12
3.36 divided by 12
.28
4. You insert 0.28 into the problem
12 times 0.28 = 3.36
X = 0.28
So 1 ounce costs $0.28
So Y = X times 0.28
You need to use the distributive property. So you take the -9 from outside the parentheses and multiply itself by the numbers inside.
The total number of pieces of chalk in the classroom will be the number of pieces in the 4 boxes in addition to the six individual pieces.
The average box of chalk holds 12 pieces of chalk
This means that 4 boxes have 12*4 = 48 pieces
Total number of pieces = 48 + 6 = 54 pieces of chalk
