Answer:

1.4oz

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract the weight of the box and the bars with the empty box. Then divide the answer you got from that, with 12 and you get your answer.

The weight of each cereal bar is 1.4 oz.

What is an equation?

"It is a statement which consists of equal symbol between two mathematical expressions."

For given example,

Let 'x' be the weight of single cereal bar.

A box contains 12 cereal bars.

The empty box weighs 1.75 oz.

The box and the bars weigh 18.55 oz.

This means the the total weight of the box is:

total weight = weight of the empty box + weight of 12 cereal bars

So, we get an equation,

⇒ 18.55 = 1.75 + ('x' × 12)

We solve above equation to find the weight of each cereal bar.

⇒ 18.55 = 1.75 + 12x

⇒ 12x = 16.8

⇒ x = (16.8)/12

⇒ x = 1.4 oz.

Therefore, the weight of each cereal bar is 1.4 oz.
