Given:
Total cheese = 12 pound
Cheese in each package = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds
To find:
The number of cheese packages.
Solution:
We need to divide the total amount of cheese by quantity of cheese in each package to find the the number of cheese packages.
[tex]\text{Number of cheese packages}=\dfrac{\text{Total cheese}}{\text{Cheese in each package}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of cheese packages}=\dfrac{12}{\dfrac{1}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of cheese packages}=12\times \dfrac{2}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of cheese packages}=24[/tex]
Therefore, there are 24 number of cheese packages.
