6 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be x
[tex]4 \frac{1}{2} \: \: ounces = \frac{3}{4} \: \: miles \\ x = 1 \: \: mile[/tex]
Now simply use cross multiplication to solve it
[tex]4 \frac{1}{2} \times 1 = \frac{3}{4} x \\ \frac{9}{2} \times 1 = \frac{3}{4} x \\ \frac{9}{2} = \frac{3x}{4} \\ [/tex]
Now make x as the Subject
[tex] \frac{9}{2} = \frac{3x}{4} \\ \frac{9 \times 4}{2 \times 3} = x \\ \frac{36}{6} = x \\ 6 = x[/tex]
So the answer is
6 ounces
