Answer 1

Answer:

Movietown Theater made a total of 10.2 pounds of butter on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

Movietown Theater made $\frac{4}{5}$ fraction of their popcorn with butter and 32.5 ounces without butter.

Fraction made without butter=$1-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$

It means $\frac{1}{5}$ of total popcorn made(t) was without butter.

$\frac{1}{5}Xt=32.5$

t=32.5X5=162.5

They made 162.5 ounces of butter in total

Next, we determine the weight in pounds

16 ounces = 1 pound

162.5 ounces = 162.5/16 pounds

=10.2 pounds
