Answer 1

To convert 58 ounces of pecans to cups, you will need 7.25 cups of pecans.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 58 ounces of pecans to cups, we need to use the conversion factor of 16 ounces = 2 cups given in the question. We can set up a proportion to find the number of cups:

58 ounces / 16 ounces = x cups / 2 cups

Cross-multiplying, we get: 58 * 2 = 16 * x

Simplifying: 116 = 16x

Dividing both sides by 16, we find: x = 116 / 16 = 7.25

Therefore, you will need 7.25 cups of pecans.

Answer 2

the recipe needed = 58 ounces of pecans

we have 16 ounces in 2 cups,

so we need

58 - 16 = 42 ounces

so we need 42 ounces of pecans.
