Question

Students picked 144 ounces of strawberries to make strawberry jam how many pounds of strawberries they pick

Answer 1

What are the choises? that way i know

Answer 2

Quantity of strawberry picked up by students = 144 ounces

Let number of strawberry in pounds be 'x'

1 ounce = 0.0625 pound

$\frac{1}{144} = \frac{0.0625}{x}$

Cross multiply

1x = 144(0.0625)

1x = 9

Divide both side by 1

$\frac{1x}{1} = \frac{9}{1}$

x = 9

9 pounds of strawberries students will pick up to make 144 ounces of strawberry jam.
