Question

Wilson bought fruit that weighs 2 and 1 over 2 pounds. How many ounces does the fruit weigh?

Answer 1

Hey there!


The fruit weighs 2 1/2 pounds.

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So you need to do 2.5 x 16 and you get 40.


Overall the fruit weighs 40 ounces.


Hope I was able to help!

Answer 2

1 pound = 16 ounces

you have 2 pounds so 16 * 2 = 32

and also a half a pound which would be half the ounces also ! so 1/2 pound = 8 ounces

so together you gave 32* 8 = 40 ounces.
