We should know that:
1 pound = 16 oz
given Cindy eats 12 oz in 4 days
She will eat 1 pound in x days
So, we need to find the number of days to eat 1 pound which is equal to 16 oz
Using the ratio and proportion
12 : 4 = 16 : x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12\colon4=16\colon x \\ \frac{12}{4}=\frac{16}{x} \\ x=\frac{4\cdot16}{12}=\frac{16}{3}=5\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]so, the number of days = 5 1/3
