First, you would want to multiply 5.5 x 14(number of days) = 77 pounds. Then, divide 77 by 16 to get how many ounces = 4.8125 oz. Of flour in 2 weeks.
Hope this helps!!!

Hey You!

The baker uses 5.5 lb, which is 88 oz, daily.

There are 14 days in two weeks, so we must multiply 88 by 14:

88 Ă— 14 = 1,232

So, the baker uses 1,232 oz of flower in two weeks.
