Question

Tory has 10 ounces of butter. She needs 6 ounces for one recipe and 1 for another There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. Does she have enough?

Answer 1

Yes, she has enough

From the question, we want to know if she has enough

She has 10 ounces

She needs 6 ounces for the first recipe

So what is needed for the second recipe will be (10-6) = 4 ounces

Now, she needs a quarter of a pound for this second

Since there are 16 ounces in a pound; a quarter of this will be 1/4 * 16 = 4 ounces

Adding this to the initial 6, we have a total of 10 ounces

So what she has is equal to what she needs and that means she has enough
