Question

How many 12-ounce bags of frozen peaches are needed to make peach sorbet that calls for 3 pints of frozen peaches. (Tip: 1 c of frozen peaches weighs about 6 oz.)

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Let's make the conversion from 3 pints to cups:

`(3pints)((2cups)/(1pint))=6cups`

2. You have that 1 cup of frozen peaches weighs about 6 ounces and you obtained that 3 pints are 6 cups, therefore, let's make the conversion from 6 cups to ounces:

`(6cups)((6ounces)/(1cups))=36ounces`

3. Finally you can divide 36 ounces by 12 ounces:

`(36ounces)/(12ounces)=3`

Therefore, the answer is: Three (3) 12 ounces bags of frozen peaches.
