Question

Nathaniel has enough goat's milk to make at most 23 containers of fermented milk product (either yogurt or kefir ). Each container of yogurt sells for $5.00, while each container of kefir sells for $6

Answer 1

Leslie can determine which yogurt option gives her more by converting both options to the same unit of measure. The first option is 32 ounces of yogurt whereas the second option totals 30 ounces. Thus, the first option, a 2-pound container, provides more yogurt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing Two Yogurt Options

To decide which yogurt option gives Leslie more yogurt, she should convert the weights of the yogurts to the same unit and then compare the total amounts. For the first option, 2 pounds need to be converted to ounces because the second option is in ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so Leslie's first option is 32 ounces of yogurt (2 pounds x 16 ounces/pound). The second option is five 6-ounce containers, totaling 30 ounces (5 containers x 6 ounces/container).

After converting and adding up the weights, Leslie can see that the first option offers 2 ounces more yogurt than the second option. Therefore, she should choose the 2-pound container to get the most yogurt for her $6.
