Question

A recipe calls for 1 cup of ground almonds. How many ounces of ground almonds should you use for this recipe if 1 pint of ground almonds weighs 0.42 pounds?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 3.36 ounces of ground almonds in 1 cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1 pint = 0.42 pounds

As we know that

1 cup = 0.5 pints

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, We need to find the number of ounces.

As 1 pint = 0.42 pounds = 0.42 × 16 = 6.72 ounces

0.5 pints is given by

$6.72\times 0.5\\\\=3.36\ ounces$

Hence, there are 3.36 ounces of ground almonds in 1 cup.
