Question

Charlotte's family bought a 2-pound block of cheese. There is 1/4 of the block of cheese left. How many ounces of cheese has Charlotte's family eaten?

Answer 1

The answer is 24. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound you multiply 16 by 2 Becuase there are 2 pounds which equal to 32 then you divide 32 by 1/4 which you get 8 then you subtract 8 from 32 and you get 24 which is the answer
