Q: The table shows the weights of apples at a grocery store. If this represents a proportional relationship, what is the weight of 12 apples? Remember to explain your answer :)

Answer 1

Step 1: So to start us off, because every 5 apples weighs 0.60 kilograms, we're going to divide 0.60 by 5 to get the weight of ONE apple.

0.60 divided by 5= 0.12

Now we know how much a single apple weighs in kilograms and we can move onto the next step.

Step 2: The next step is to times the weight of one apple by 12 because that would give us our answer for the weight in kilograms of 12 apples.

0.12 times 12=1.44

Hopefully, this is correct and helps you! Sorry if I made any errors, it would be best to go back and do the steps yourself just to make sure if that makes you feel any better. Good luck! xxoo

Answer 2

Answer:

1.44kg

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are proportional then you can use the unitary method:

If 5 apples=0.6kg then 1 apple=0.12kg as this is 0.6/5 (because you divided the apples by 5 so you have to do the same to the kg)

then you can work out that 12 apples=1.44kg because 0.12*12 is 1.44 and you multiply by 12 as this is what you multiplied the apples by so (becasue they are proportional then you have to do the same to the kg)

hope this helps :)
