Question

the food pantry distribution 10 oz bags of rice if 3 5 lb bags are donated to the pantry how many 10 ounce bags can be made ​

Answer 1

24 bags can be made from three 5 pounds bags.

Explanation:

Given that:

Three 5 pound bags are donated.

Total weight of bags = 3*5 = 15 pounds

We know that:

1 pound = 16 ounces

15 pounds = 16*15 = 240 ounces

A bag weighs 10 ounces.

Number of bags =
`(240)/(10)`

Number of bags = 24 bags

Hence,

24 bags can be made from three 5 pounds bags.
