DeShawn uses 3/4 of a box of rice to cook dinner the portion he uses weighs 12 ounces right and solve an equation to find the weight of the full box of rice

Respuesta :

Answer:

3r/4 = 12

Each box of rice weighs 16 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the weight of the full box of rice r. Then, we get the equation 3r/4 = 12, because we have 3/4 of the box is 12 ounces. Multiply both sides by 4, then divide both sides by 3, to get 3r = 48 and then r = 16.
