So, 2/4 pounds of blueberries reduced is 1/2 pound of blueberries. There 16 ounces in a pound and 8 ounces in 1/2 a pound. He only bought 8 ounces of blueberries and he needs 48. Subtract 8 ounces that he already has from 48 ounces that he needs and get 40 ounces.

Answer 2

Horace need to buys 2.5 pounds of blueberries

• Horace buys 2/4 pounds of blueberries
• 48 ounce of blueberries needed for a pie
• To determine how many pounds of blueberries that Horace need to buy, we have to convert ounces because this mathematical question is related to unit conversion.

Further Explanation

1 pounds = 16 ounces, therefore,

3 pounds = 48 ounces (we multiply 16 and 3 = 48)

To find how many pounds he need to by = 3 ounces – $\frac{2}{4}$

= 3 – $\frac{2}{4}$

= $\frac{3}{1}$ – $\frac{2}{4}$ (4 is the smallest number can divide both denominator) therefore, we have

= (4 x 3) – (1 x 2) / 4

=  12 - 2 / 4

= $\frac{10}{4}$

= 2.5

Thus, Horace buys 2.5 pounds of blueberries.
