Learn to keep the units in tow. Remember that nothing changes when you multiply by 1. You want to convert 3.5 ounces to a number of nuggets.
The problem says that 10.5 oz = 15 nuggets. So, starting out with
3.5 oz, multiply by 1 to get rid of the ounces:
3.5 oz * 15 nug/10.5 oz = 3.5*15/10.5 nug = 5 nug.
The problem says that 10.5 oz = 15 nuggets. So, starting out with
