you're having a bbq this weekend, and you're in charge of hamburger meat. right now there is a sale where you can buy 5 pounds of meat for $10. At this rate how much meat could you buy for $30

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

we can set up a proportion:

5/10=x/30

solve for x:

5/10=x/30

10x=150

x=15

(or you could've done 5*3=15 since $30/$10=3)
