3. SNACKS A 6-ounce package of fruit snacks contains 45 pieces. How many pieces would you expect in a 10 -ounce package?

Step 1 ：Given that a 6-ounce package of fruit snacks contains 45 pieces, we can set this up as a ratio: \(\frac{45 \text{ pieces}}{6 \text{ ounces}}\).

Step 2 ：We want to find out how many pieces are in a 10-ounce package, so we can set up a proportion: \(\frac{45 \text{ pieces}}{6 \text{ ounces}} = \frac{x \text{ pieces}}{10 \text{ ounces}}\).

Step 3 ：Solving this proportion for x gives us the number of pieces in a 10-ounce package.

Step 4 ：\(x = \frac{45 \text{ pieces} \times 10 \text{ ounces}}{6 \text{ ounces}} = 75 \text{ pieces}\)

Step 5 ：Final Answer: You would expect \(\boxed{75}\) pieces in a 10-ounce package.
