Answer:

0.75 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this one is more simple. To find the weight of each book, You have to solve this division problem:

15/20

If you divided it the other way around, you would be saying each book weighed 1.33 pounds. That wouldn't be correct because then you would have over 20 lbs. of books, when you only have 15.

So, the answer is 0.75 pounds.

Cody has 7/8 pound of cheese. he uses 1/7 since there are 16 ounces in a pound how much is left

bagirrra123 [75]

Step One
Find the fraction left.
Starting amount = 7/8 pound
Used amount = 1/7 of a pound.

The common denominator of these two fractions is 8 * 7 = 56

Amount left = amount started with - amount used
Amount left = 7/8 - 1/7
Amount left = $\frac{7 *7 }{8 * 7} - \frac{1 * 8}{7 * 8}$
Amount left = $\frac{49 }{56} - \frac{ 8}{56}$
Amount left = 41 / 56 pounds

Step Two
Convert the Answer to ounces.

Ounces = (41/56) * 16
Ounces = 11.71 ounces almost 11 3/4
