Write a proportion:
[tex]\dfrac{5\frac{1}{4}}{28}=\dfrac{1\frac{1}{2}}{x}\\ \\5\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot x=28\cdot 1\dfrac{1}{2}\ [\text{Cross multiply}]\\ \\\dfrac{21}{4}x=28\cdot \dfrac{3}{2}\\ \\\dfrac{21 x}{4}=42\\ \\x=42\div \dfrac{21}{4}\\ \\x=42\cdot \dfrac{4}{21}\\ \\x=2\cdot 4\\ \\x=8\ ounces[/tex]
Marco will make
