A food scientist determines that a new type of orange has 15.38 mg of vitamin C/oz. How much vitamin C is in an orange that weighs 6 3/5 oz? Enter your answer, as a decimal to the nearest tenth, in the box.

(Sorry this is a late response) 15.38=101.508 or 101.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You would divide 3 and 5 or 5 and 3 because 3 and 5 equals the fraction 3/5. The dividend is 3 and the 5 is the divisor. The quotient of this is 0.6. So the next step would be to add the 6 from 6 3/5 so this is the whole number so add it in front of 0.6 so it would turn into 6.6. The last step is to multiply the weight of the orange by the mg of vitamin C/oz that is 15.38 so multiply 6.6 by 15.38 this would equal 101.508 so you would just round this to a better answer and that would make it 101.5.

Tell me if I am wrong.. thanks

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
