1. if 3 cans of asparagus cost $7.00, How much do 12 cans cost?
\n" ); document.write( "A ratio equation is one way:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F12\" = \"7%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 7*12
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 84
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"84%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $28 for 12 cans
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "2. if it takes a basket maker 20 days to make 30 baskets,
\n" ); document.write( "how many baskets can be made in 60 days?
\n" ); document.write( "\"20%2F60\" = \"30%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "20x = 60*30
\n" ); document.write( "20x = 1800
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"1800%2F20\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 90 baskets in 60 days
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
