Question

Simon bought 2 pounds of cucumbers, 8 ounces of alfalfa sprouts, 3 pounds of lettuce, and 15 ounces of tomatoes. How many ounces of vegetables did he buy in total?

Answer 1

Answer=103 ounces

First we need a conversion equations to get from pounds to ounces

1pound=16ounce

2pounds=2*16=32 ounces of cucumber

3pounds=3*16=48 ounces of lettuce

Now that all of the vegetables are in ounces, we can solve for their total weight.


x=32+8+48+15=103 ounces

He bought 103 ounces of vegetables in total.

Answer 2

If you would like to know how many ounces of vegetables did Simon buy in total, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 pound equals to 16 ounces.
2 pounds + 8 ounces + 3 pounds + 15 ounces = 2 * 16 + 8 + 3 * 16 + 15 = 32 + 8 + 48 + 15 = 103 ounces

Result: Simon bought 103 ounces in total.
