Answer:

384 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 4 1/2 pounds of grapes to make 1 pound of Rasins, then we need to figure out how many pounds of Rasins we can make with 108 pounds of grapes.

(Or you can do 108 divided by 4 1/2)

4 1/2 x 10 = 45

4 1/2 x 4 = 18

45 + 45 + 18 = 108

10 + 10 + 4 = 24

(Looking at the work you did above, we can take 54, and multiply that by 2 to get 108, therefore, we can just multiply 12 by two to get 24)

Now we need to convert the pounds to ounces.

If one pound is equal to 16 ounces, then we can use the equation,

24 x 16 = 384

108 pounds of grapes yields 384 ounces.
