Answer:
Part a) Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes
Part b) Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries
Part c) Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries
Part d) Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) How many ounces of grapes did Ms. Winn buy?
Remember that
To convert lb to oz multiply by 16
we know that
Ms. Winn bought 3/4 lb of grapes
Convert lb to oz
Multiply by 16
therefore
Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes
Part b) How many ounces of cherries did Ms. Winn buy?
Remember that
To convert lb to oz multiply by 16
we know that
Ms. Winn bought 5/8 lb of cherries
Convert lb to oz
Multiply by 16
therefore
Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries
Part c) How many more ounces of grapes than cherries did Ms. Winn buy?
Subtract the ounces of cherries from the ounces of grapes
so
therefore
Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries
Part d) If Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries, who bought more fruit, Ms. Winn or Mr. Phillips? How many ounces more?
Remember that
To convert lb to oz multiply by 16
we know that
Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction
Convert lb to oz
Multiply by 16
Remember that
Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes and 10 oz of cherries
In total Ms. Winn bought
12 oz+10 oz=22 oz -----> total ounces of fruit
so
Mr. Phillips bought 28 oz of fruit
Ms. Winn bought 22 oz of fruit
Find the difference
therefore
Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn
