Question

PLEASE ANSWER THIS

Answer 1

Solve by doing everything backwards. If he needs 3 ounces, and there is 16 ounces in a pound, that is 48 ounces of cherries needed. Since each cherry is about 1/2 a pound, double the 48. You end up with 96 and that is your answer.


96 cherries

Answer 2

Answer:

96 Cherries

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question on some unit conversions.

First we convert 3 pounds to ounces.

Given 16 ounces = 1 pound,

3 pounds = 3 x 16 ounces = 48 ounces

Next, we will find the number of cherries required.

Number of Cherries required = Total weight of cherries needed (in ounces) / Weight per cherry.

= $\frac{48}{0.5}$

= 48 * 2

= 96 cherries
