what is the answer to this problem


The food pantry distributes 10-oz bags of rice. If three 5-lb bags are donated to the pantry , how many 10-ounce bags can be made

Sagot :

1 ounce = 0,0625 pound = 1/16 pound

10-oz = 0,625 pounds = 1/16 * 10 = 10/16 = 5/8 pounds

3 * 5 (bags donated to the pantry) = 15
15 ÷ 5/8 = = 15 * 8/5 = 3 * 8 = 24

Answer: There are 24 10-oz bags needed to fit three 5-lb bags.
