Answer 1

this is for part A

Explanation:

If James bought a cake that weighs 3 1/4 pounds, the number of ounces weighed is 52 ounces.

16 ounces = 1 pound

1 gallon= 8 pints

Since James bought a cake that weighs 3 1/4 pounds, the number of ounces that the cake weighs will be:

= 16 × 3 1/4

= 52 ounces.

Since the tap dispenses 0.15 gallons of water every second, the number of pints of water that is dispensed after 20 seconds will be:

= 0.15 × 8 × 20.

= 24 pints.
