Question

here are some new objects. complete the table so that each object floats.

object	weight (oz)	number of balloons
cake		60
banana	$3\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Step1: Find the weight - to - balloon ratio for the light bulb

The light bulb weighs 2 oz and requires 6 balloons. The ratio is $\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$ oz per balloon.

Step2: Find the weight of the cake

Since the ratio is $\frac{1}{3}$ oz per balloon and the cake requires 60 balloons, the weight of the cake is $\frac{1}{3}\times60 = 20$ oz.

Step3: Find the number of balloons for the banana

The banana weighs $3\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10}{3}$ oz. Using the ratio of $\frac{1}{3}$ oz per balloon, the number of balloons is $\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{10}{3}\times3 = 10$.

Answer:

Object	Weight (oz)	Number of Balloons
Cake	20	60
Banana	$3\frac{1}{3}$	10
