The required fraction is [tex]\bold{\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]
Solution:
Given:
Cost of 32 ounces tub = $6
Cost of 8 ounces tub = $2
To find:
what fraction of the cost of the large tube is the small tub.
From the given, here we can understand that the large tub is the 32 ounces tub and the smaller one is the 8 ounces tub.
Let k be the required fraction.
Therefore, [tex]\bold{k\times6=2}[/tex]
On solving we get,
[tex]\bold{\Rightarrow k=\frac{2}{6}\rightarrow k=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]
