Question

a chef Cuts 3/4 lb of cheese. he put aside 1/8 of the cheese to top his lasagna. how much cheese will he put on top​

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. Take 3/4 and multiply it by 16.

3/4 x 16 ounces = 12 ounces

There are 12 ounces in 3/4 lb.

The chef uses 1/8 of the 12 ounces (or 3/4 lb) of cheese for the top of the lasagna.

1/8 of 12 ounces

1/8 x 12 ounces = 1.5 ounces

The chef uses 1.5 ounces for the top of the lasagna.

To convert the ounces to pounds, use 1 lb/16 ounces. The ounces cancel and you are left with pounds.

1.5 ounces x (1 lb/16 ounces) = 0.09375 lb
