How many ounces are in 12

Question

of 15
of a 10-ounce block of cheese?(1 point)
ounce(s)

Answer 1

To find how many ounces are in \( \frac{12}{15} \) of a 10-ounce block of cheese, you can multiply the fraction by the total weight of the cheese:

\[ \frac{12}{15} \times 10 \text{ ounces} \]

First, simplify the fraction \( \frac{12}{15} \):

\[ \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5} \]

Now, multiply \( \frac{4}{5} \) by 10 ounces:

\[ \frac{4}{5} \times 10 = \frac{40}{5} = 8 \text{ ounces} \]

So, \( \frac{12}{15} \) of a 10-ounce block of cheese is 8 ounces.
