Question

Brad has 10 lb of oranges to make 12 bowls of fruit salad. His recipe requires 12 oz of oranges for each bowl. Does Brad have enough oranges? Please answer....

Answer 1

Answer: Yes, Brad has enough oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The orange required for one bowl = 12 oz

Thus orange required for 12 bowls = $\frac{12}{1}\times 12=144oz$

Oranges available with Brad for 12 bowls = 10 lb = $10\times 16=160oz$

(1lb=16oz)

As organges required is less than oranges available with Brad, thus Brad has enough oranges.
