Sagot :

3/4 box = 12 oz

we first need to find 1/4 of a box. to do that divide both sides by 3

1/4 box = 4 oz

for a full box which is 4/4 multiply both sides by 4

1/4 x (4)  = 4 x (4) oz

4/4 ( or one whole) = 16 oz

[tex]16\ ounces[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

so by proportion

Find the weight of the full box of rice

[tex]\frac{12}{(3/4)}\frac{ounces}{box} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{ounces}{box}\\ \\x=12/(3/4)\\ \\x=16\ ounces[/tex]
