Question

Find the value of n. If fractions are​ involved, express your answer as a fraction.

n/20 ounces = 3 pounds/48 ounces

Answer 1

To find the value of n, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

n/20 = 3/48

To solve for n, we can cross multiply:

48n = 20 * 3
48n = 60
n = 60/48
n = 5/4

Therefore, the value of n is 5/4 ounces.
