Question

I need help with my homework! It says to divide 15 pounds of rice into four unequal measures using ounces. I don't get it. Does anybody else? If so, please help me!! Thanks!

Answer 1

Convert the pounds into ounces first. Then simply split that amount up into 4 different groups that aren't equal. There are 16 ounces in every pound, so multiply the 15 pounds by the 16 ounces/pound. You get 240 total ounces. So all you do is split that 240 into 4 unequal groups. if you need further direction leave a comment
