It takes one hundred thirty pounds of milk to make thirteen pounds of cheese. At that rate, how much milk does it take to make eleven ounces of cheese?
+2666 First, we need to convert 13 pounds to ounces: \(13 \times 16 = 208\)
Now, we can form a ratio table:
\(130 = 208\)
\(\text{?} = 11\)
Multiplying both sides by \({11 \over 208}\), we find that \(6.875 = \color{brown}\boxed{6 {7\over 8}}\) pounds of cheese are needed to make 11 ounces of cheese.
