A 12-ounce bottle of shampoo lasts Enrique 16 weeks. How long would you expect an 18-ounce bottle of the same brand to last him?

For Enrique a 12 ounce bottle lasts for 16 weeks. This is a known fact. We need to find the amount of days or weeks an 18 ounce bottle of the same brand of shampoo last. Now 12 ounce bottle lasts = 16 weeks = (16 * 7) days = 112 days 18 ounce bottle lasts = (112/12) * 18 = 168 days = 168/7 weeks = 24 weeks So 18 ounce of the same brand of shampoo will last for 24 weeks.

To determine how long an 18 ounce bottle of shampoo would last Enrique compared to a 12 ounce bottle, you can set up a proportion:
12 ounces last 16 weeks, so 18 ounces would last x weeks.
12/16 = 18/x
Solving for x, you get x = 24 weeks.
Using this information, if a laundry detergent is sold in a 40 oz. size and the same brand is considered, the estimated cost can be calculated. Similarly, for a 90 oz. size, another estimation can be made for the cost.
