Question

A yoghurt costs 45p. How many yogurts can be bought for 5 pounds

Answer 1

To compare the amount of yogurt in a 2 pound container and five 6-ounce containers, convert pounds to ounces. Then compare the measurements. To calculate how many yogurts can be bought for 5 pounds, divide 5 pounds by the price of 1 yogurt.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To compare the amount of yogurt in a 2 pound container and five 6-ounce containers, we need to convert one of the measurements to the same unit. In this case, we will convert pounds to ounces. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, so 2 pounds is equal to 2 x 16 = 32 ounces.
2. Now we can compare 32 ounces and 30 ounces. Since 32 ounces is greater than 30 ounces, Leslie will get more yogurt by choosing the 2 pound container.
3. To calculate how many yogurts can be bought for 5 pounds, we can divide 5 pounds by the price of 1 yogurt, which is 45p. Since there are 100 pence in 1 pound, we need to convert 5 pounds to pence by multiplying it by 100. So, 5 pounds is equal to 5 x 100 = 500 pence.
4. Now we can divide 500 pence by 45p to find out how many yogurts can be bought. 500 pence ÷ 45p = 11.11. This means that approximately 11 yogurts can be bought for 5 pounds.

Answer 2

500 pence in £5

500/45 = 11.11 (rounded to 11)
