1.00 / 8 = 0.125
5 X 12 = 60
60 x 0.125 = 7.5
5 X 12 = 60
60 x 0.125 = 7.5
Given that eight oranges cost $1.00, we can divide $1.00 by 8 to find the cost of one orange:
$1.00 รท 8 = $0.125 (or $0.13 rounded to the nearest cent).
Now that we know the cost of one orange, we can find the cost of 5 dozen oranges, which means we need to multiply the number of oranges by the cost of one orange.
Since one dozen is equal to 12, 5 dozen oranges would be equal to 5 x 12 = 60 oranges.
To find the total cost of 5 dozen oranges, we'll multiply the cost of one orange ($0.13) by the total number of oranges (60):
$0.13 x 60 = $7.80.
Therefore, 5 dozen oranges will cost $7.80.
5 dozen = 5 x 12 = 60 oranges
Since 8 oranges cost $1.00, we can calculate the cost per orange:
1.00 / 8 = $0.125 per orange
Now, we can multiply the cost per orange by the total number of oranges (60) to find the total cost:
0.125 x 60 = $7.50
Therefore, 5 dozen oranges will cost $7.50.
