Question

a gift shop sells walnuts in three fourth pond bags . Ann wants to buy enough to have 4 pounds of walnuts. How many 3/4 pound bags will she need to buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 pounds is equal to 16 four-ounce (1/4 pound) increments.

To find the number of 3/4 pound bags Ann needs to buy, we can convert 16 four-ounce increments to three-fourth pound increments:

16 four-ounce increments = 16 x 4 = 64 ounces

64 ounces = 64/16 = 40 three-fourth pound increments

Therefore, Ann will need to buy 40 bags of walnuts, each weighing 3/4 of a pound.
