Question

derek used a total of 4 pounds of grape, roma, and plum tomatoes including 2 pounds of grape tomatoes and 14 ounces of roma tomatoes. how many ounces of plum tomatoes did he use?

Answer 1

He used 18 ounces.
----------------------------------
Convert pounds to ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, he has a total of 64 ounces.
Two pounds of grape tomatoes = 32 ounces
The roma tomatoes are 14 ounces.
32 + 14 = 46 (Grape + Roma)
64 - 46 = 18 .... Total - (Grape + Roma) = Plum

Answer 2

Answer: There are 18 ounces of plum tomatoes he used.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pounds of grape, roma and plum = 4 pounds

As we know that

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, Number of ounces of grape, roma and plum =
`16* 4=64\ ounces`

Number of pounds of grape tomatoes = 2 pounds

Number of ounces of grape tomatoes would be

`2* 16=32\ ounces`

Number of roma tomatoes = 14 ounces

So, total number of ounces of grape and roma tomatoes is given by

`32+14=46\ ounces`

so, Number of plum tomatoes would be

`64-46=18\ ounces`

Hence, there are 18 ounces of plum tomatoes he used.
