Mary bought a 10-ounce bottle of cough syrup. If each dose is 1/4 ounce, how many doses are in the bottle?

4 doses /oz * 10 oz = 40 doses
10 peanuts/bag
7 bags/ box'
20 boxes/crate
10 crates/truck
how many peanuts/ truck?
(10 peanuts/bag)(7 bag/box) bag cancels so
70 peanuts/box

now so
10 peanuts/bag * 7 bags/ box * 20 boxes/crate * 10 crates/truck
bag cancels and box cancels and crate cancels and we have
10*7*20*10 peanuts/truck :)
