Answer 1

To calculate the total ounces of sugar Anita bought, multiply the weight of one bag (36.8 ounces) by the number of bags (3), resulting in 110.4 ounces. The correct answer is option (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

When Anita bought 3 bags of sugar, each weighing 36.8 ounces, to find the total weight we need to multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags she bought. This is a multiplication problem involving decimals.

The calculation would be:

1. Write down the weight of one bag: 36.8 ounces.
2. Identify the number of bags: 3 bags.
3. Multiply the weight by the number of bags: 36.8 ounces × 3 = 110.4 ounces.

Thus, Anita bought a total of 110.4 ounces of sugar. The correct answer is option (a).
