We want to complete the table. We can use the portion where both values are known to find the missing values.
Ounces
24.6
123
Bags
1
2
5
We know that we get 24.6 ounces from 2 bags. Let's write this rate as a ratio.
24.6ounces/2bags or 24.6/2
We will use this ratio to find the missing values.
First Value
We can find an equivalent rate with a denominator of 1 to find how many ounces we get from 1 bag. We get this when we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2. Notice that we get the unit rate.
Now we want to find how many ounces we get from 5 bags. We can use the unit rate 12.31 to find this missing value. To do this, we need to get an equivalent rate with a denominator of 5.
To find the last value, we use the unit rate 12.31 again. This time we need an equivalent rate with a numerator of 123. We see that we get this when we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 10.
