Question

A box holds 25 pounds of cans. Each can weighs 8 ounces. How many cans does each box hold?

Answer 1

1 pound = 16 ounces.

1 can weighs 8 ounces, so 2 cans weigh 8 +8 = 16 ounces, which is 1 pound.

Multiply total pounds by number of cans per pound:

25 pounds x 2 cans per pound = 50 total cans.
