Nora's family is hosting a burger bash and dividing a package of ground beef into burger-size portions. The question is about converting pounds to ounces to determine if Michaela has enough shrimp for her party.
Nora's family is hosting an end-of-summer burger bash, and they bought a family-size package of ground beef. Nora used a scale to divide the meat evenly into 32 burger-size portions, with each portion weighing 0.25 pounds. This question involves converting pounds to ounces in order to determine if Michaela has enough shrimp for her party. The conversion factor for pounds to ounces is 16, so 5 pounds of shrimp is equal to 80 ounces. Since each person is expected to eat 7 ounces of shrimp, for 10 people, the total amount of shrimp needed would be 70 ounces. Therefore, Michaela will have enough shrimp for everyone at her party.
