Question

Part A: James bought a cake that weighs pounds. How many ounces does the cake weigh? Show your work. (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

For part a multiply the pound amount by 16. Your work would look something like this... (not actual answer) 10 pounds x 16= 160 ounces. So 10 pounds= 160 ounces!

For part B

0.15 gallons=1.2 pints

Example: .15 x 4= .6

.6 x 2= 1.2 pints

1.2 x 20 seconds= 24 pints!

Answer 2

Answer:

Part A: 52 oz

Part B: 24 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, the number of ounces is 16 times the number of pounds. To convert pounds to ounces, multiply the pounds by 16.

3 1/4 lb × 16 oz/lb =

= 13/4 × 16 oz

= 13 × 4 oz

= 52 oz

Answer: 52 oz

Part B:

We need to convert from gallons to pints.

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

That means that 1 gallon = 8 pints.

0.15 gallon/second × 8 pints/gallon =

= 1.2 pints/second

The tap dispenses 1.2 pints/second.

Now we calculate the number of pints dispensed in 20 seconds.

1.2 pints/second × 20 seconds = 24 pints

Answer: 24 pints
