Question

Factories often add filler when making meatballs sold by the bag. One factory obtained 135kg of beef from overseas. They want to add 1.3oz of filler for each pound of beef. How many ounces of filler will the factory need in order to make meatballs out of this shipment of beef?

Use 1lb = 0.45kg and do not round any computations

Answer 1

135kg÷.45kg= 300lbs
1.3oz per 1 pound
1.3×300=390 oz

Answer 2

The company needs 390 oz of filler.

Explanation:

One factory obtained 135 kg of beef from overseas.

They want to add 1.3oz of filler for each pound of beef.

Given is:

0.45 kg = 1 pound

So, 135 kg =
`(135)/(0.45)` = 300 pounds

The company want to add 1.3 oz of filler for each pound of beef.

So, for 300 pounds they will need =
`300*1.3=390` oz of filler.

Therefore, the company needs 390 oz of filler.
