3
ounces of white chocolate. It sold 5 times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate. How many ounces of milk chocolate did the shop sell?

1 answer

To find out how many ounces of milk chocolate the shop sold, we first need to calculate how much white chocolate was sold.

1 1/3 ounces of white chocolate is equivalent to:

1 + 1/3 = 3/3 + 1/3 = 4/3 = 1 1/3 ounces

Therefore, the shop sold 4/3 ounces of white chocolate.

Since the shop sold 5 times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate, the amount of milk chocolate sold is:

5 * 4/3 = 20/3 = 6 2/3 ounces

Therefore, the shop sold 6 2/3 ounces of milk chocolate.
