Question

2. Erin used 9 ounces of fruit in the pie she baked. Nicole baked two pies and used 11 more ounce of fruit than Erin. Which is the amount of fruit that Nicole used? A 4 ounces B 1 pound C 1 pound 4 ounces D 1 pound 6 ounces

Answer 1

One pound is 16 ounces. When you add 9 ounces and 11 ounces you get 20 ounces. 16 can go into 20 one time with 4 left over. The 16 ounces is turned into one pound with the extra 4 ounces on the side.
So the answer is 1 pound 4 ounces.
