Question

you need to make 54 servings of fried tofu each serving takes 3 ounces of flour How many pounds of flour do you need

Answer 1

Answer:

10 1/8 pounds of flour is needed

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to make 54 servings of fried tofu

Each serving calls for 3 ounces of flour

Total amount of flour needed = # of servings * required ounces of flour per serving

Total amount of flour needed = 54 * 3 = 162 ounces

The question asks us how many pounds of flour needed, our answer is in ounces so we have to convert.

1 pound = 16 ounces

So to find the # of pounds required we simply divide our answer by 16

# of pounds of flour needed = 162 / 16 = 10.125 or 10 and 1/8ths

Answer 2

Answer:

10.125 pounds of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

54 servings x 3 ounces = 162

162 ounces / 16 ounces per pound = 10.125
