Question

You buy cheese in 1lb bags. Your receipt for burritos requires 1.6 ounces of cheese per serving. How many servings can you make

Answer 1

For this case we can convert the pounds to ounces first like this:

`1lb\cdot\frac{16\text{ounces}}{1lb}=16ounces`

and we can find the serving with the following operation:

`\frac{16\text{ounces}}{1.6\text{ ounces/serving}}=10\text{servings}`

then the final answer would be 10 servings
