To find: No. of table spoons of cocoa to make 72 ounce of hot chocolate.

This Problem is of Direct Proportion as when No. of spoons of cocoa increase then weight of hot chocolate also increase.

So, this can be solved by unitary method.

that is, we first find No. of spoon of cocoa needed for 1 ounce of hot chocolate.

No. of spoons of cocoa needed for 12 ounce of hot choclate = 3

⇒ No. of spoons of coca needed for 1 ounce of hot choclate

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
