Question

Karen bought 3 lbs of cheese to serve at a picnic.How many oz of cheese did Karen buy? In the grade 5( lesson 11.7)

Answer 1

Answer: 48 oz

Explanation:

First and foremost, we should note that 1 pound = 16 ounces. That is 1lb = 16oz. Therefore, since Karen bought 3 lbs of cheese to serve at a picnic, the amount of oz of cheese that Karen bought will be three multiplied by 16. This will be:

= 3 × 16oz

= 48 oz

Therefore, Karen bought 48 ounces of cheese
