Question

Mrs. Robertson wants to buy as big a package of chopped meat as possible. There is a 20-ounce package and a 1-pound package. She only wants to buy one package. Which should she buy?

Answer 1

Find how many oz are in a pound.

16 oz = 1 pound.

20 oz > 16 oz

So she should buy the 20 ounce package

Answer 2

1 pound equals 16 oz, therefore if she wants the bigger pack, buy the 20oz package
