Question

Three times a day, Dylan mixes 2 ounces of protein powder into a shake. How many days can he make all three shakes from his 5-pound container of protein powder? Remember, there are 16 ounces in a pound. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

no

Answer 2

13 days

Explanation:

To calculate this we first need to find the total number of ounces in the container. We do this by multiplying the total number of pounds in the container by 16oz

5 * 16oz = 80oz

Since Dylan is making three 2oz shakes per day that would mean he is using a total of 6oz (2oz*3) per day. Therefore, in order to find out how many days the container will last we simply divide the total amount of protein powder in the container by the amount he uses every day.

80oz / 6oz = 13.33 days

The container will last 13.33 days but since we cannot count a percentage of a day, then we need to round down to the day in which he will no longer be able to make the three shakes which are 13 days.
