Question 180722: I need help please in solving this problem I have tried but keep getting it wrong.
A 30 - ounce can of orange juice sells for $1.80. At the same rate, what would a 12 - ounce can sell for?

You can use rations to solve this one
Think "1.80 is to 30 as X is to 12"



So the 12 oz can sells for 72 cents at the same ratio
