Question

Elsa bought 20 ounces of nuts at the store. How much is this in pounds? Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed number in simplest form. Include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

From the conversion table;

`16oz=1lb`

Thus;

`\begin{gathered} 20oz=(20)/(16)lb \\ \\ 20oz=1(1)/(4)lb \end{gathered}`

CORRECT ANSWER:

`\begin{equation*} 1(1)/(4)lb \end{equation*}`
