Question

A bag of flour weighs 72 ounces. What is the weight of the flour in pounds

Answer 1

4 lbs. and 8 oz. (4 pounds and 8 ounces).

Explanation:

every pound = 16 ounces.

4 * 16 = 64.

72 - 64 = 8.

We have 8 ounces left over.

your answer will be 4 pounds and 8 ounces.

If we do 5 * 16 = 80, we would be way too big on ounces.

hope this helps.

Answer 2

4.5 lbs because for each pound there are 16 oz.
