Respuesta :

5.5 kilograms of flour= $8.25

How many kilograms can purchase= $1

We can solve this by proportional relationships:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8.25}{5.5}=\frac{1}{x} \\ 8.25x=5.5 \\ x=\frac{5.5}{8.25} \\ x=\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

$1 can purchase 2/3 kilogram of flour, 2/3 it's the same as 4/6. So the statement is true.
