Answer 1

Number 5 is:

1 pound = 16 ounces so you're going to take 16 and multiply 6 the answer is 96 ounces, then add 4 ounces to the 96 equaling 100 ounces. Hope this helps!!

Visual:

16. 96
x 6. + 4
------ ------
96. 100

Answer 2

1) Since there are 16 ounces in a pound you multiply 16 by the number of pounds. So 6x16=96 then add the extra ounces and your answer is 100 oz.

2) Seth finished faster because she finished in 24 second, since there are 3 feet per yard, you multiply 3x200=600, then, you divide 600 feet by 25 feet and you get 24. So Seth finished in 24 seconds
