Question

A recipe calls for 3/4 lb of cream cheese. A small tub of cream cheese at the grocery store weighs 12oz. Is this enough cream cheese for the recipe?

Answer 1

Yes, the 12-ounce tub of cream cheese is enough for the recipe, as it is the equivalent of 3/4 pounds of cream cheese needed for the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether a 12-ounce tub of cream cheese is enough for a recipe that requires 3/4 pounds of cream cheese. To determine this, we need to convert either ounces to pounds or pounds to ounces to compare the two measurements in the same unit.

Firstly, we know that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound. Therefore, if we want to find out how many ounces are in 3/4 pounds, we would calculate:

3/4 pounds × 16 ounces/pound = 12 ounces.

Since the small tub of cream cheese weighs exactly 12 ounces, it is equal to 3/4 pounds, and therefore the 12-ounce tub of cream cheese is indeed enough for the recipe.

Answer 2

Yes this is enough cream cheese
