Answer 1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Susan uses 9 cans of beans.

Each can is 16-ounces.

Ounces of beans in 1 can= 16

Ounces of beans in 9 cans= 16×9=144

Susan divides the beans equally among 8 casseroles.

i.e. Beans in 8 casseroles= 144 ounces

Beans in 1 casserole= 144/8 ounces

                                 = 18 ounces

Hence, ounces of beans in each casserole is:

18 ounces

Answer 2

9 cans x 16 oz = 144oz
144oz ÷ 8 casseroles = 18 oz per casserole
