Question

In food preparation and baking, a recipe or formula will call for so many pounds or ounces of liquid and a scale may not be available, or it would be more convenient to measure the liquid. Assume that this is the situation for the following problems. For each, state the amount of volume measure you would use.

16. The recipe calls for 1 pound 8 ounces of water. _________________

17. The recipe calls for 4 pounds of apple juice. _________________

18. The recipe calls for 5 pounds of apple juice. _________________

19. The recipe calls for 2 pounds and 12 oz. milk. _________________

20. The recipe calls for 6 pounds of skim milk. __________________

Answer 1

To convert pounds to fluid ounces, multiply the number of pounds by 16. The volume measures for the given problems are 24 fluid ounces, 64 fluid ounces, 80 fluid ounces, 44 fluid ounces, and 96 fluid ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert pounds to ounces, we use the conversion factor of 16 ounces per pound. Here are the volume measures for each given problem:

1. For 1 pound 8 ounces of water, the amount of volume measure would be 24 fluid ounces. (16 ounces + 8 ounces = 24 fluid ounces)
2. For 4 pounds of apple juice, the amount of volume measure would be 64 fluid ounces. (4 pounds x 16 ounces = 64 fluid ounces)
3. For 5 pounds of apple juice, the amount of volume measure would be 80 fluid ounces. (5 pounds x 16 ounces = 80 fluid ounces)
4. For 2 pounds and 12 ounces of milk, the amount of volume measure would be 44 fluid ounces. (2 pounds x 16 ounces + 12 ounces = 44 fluid ounces)
5. For 6 pounds of skim milk, the amount of volume measure would be 96 fluid ounces. (6 pounds x 16 ounces = 96 fluid ounces)
