Question

Luke bought 256256256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 888 different pies. How many pounds of strawberries did Luke put into each pie?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Luke bought 256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 8 different pies. We are asked to find the pounds of strawberries that Luke put on each pie.

First of all, we will convert 256 ounces into pounds.

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To convert 256 ounces into pounds, we need to divide 256 by 16.

$\text{256 ounces}=\frac{256}{16}\text{ pounds}=16\text{ pounds}$

Now we will divide 16 pounds by 8 to find number of strawberries put on each pie.

$\text{Pounds of strawberries on each pie}=\frac{16}{8}$

$\text{Pounds of strawberries on each pie}=2$

Therefore, Luke put 2 pounds strawberries on each pie.
