Question

Which sentence correctly compares the number of 1 4 4 1 ​ -pound and 1 2 2 1 ​ -pound packages that the deli can slice from a 12 12 -pound block?

Answer 1

The statements aren't given; however the number of 1/2 and 1/4 - pound package have been calculated below.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A 12 pound block :

Number of 1/2 pound packages that can be obtained :

12 ÷ 1/2 ;

12 * 2/1 = 24 (1/2 - Pound package) can be obtained.

Number of 1/4 pound package that can be obtained :

12 ÷ 1/4

12 * 4 /1 = 48 (1/4 - Pound package) can be obtained

We can obtain twice the number of 1/2 - pound package by using the 1/4 - pound slicing.
