The rate StartFraction 165 ounces Over 11 boxes EndFraction describes the relationship between the number of boxes and the weight of the crackers in the boxes. What is the weight, in ounces, of one box?

Question

11 ounces per box
12 ounces per box
15 ounces per box
16 ounces per box

Answer 1

To find the weight in ounces of one box, you can calculate the unit rate from the given relationship.

You have: \[ \frac{165 \text{ ounces}}{11 \text{ boxes}} \]

To find the weight per box, divide the total ounces by the number of boxes: \[ \text{Weight per box} = \frac{165 \text{ ounces}}{11 \text{ boxes}} = 15 \text{ ounces per box} \]

Thus, the weight of one box is 15 ounces per box.
