Question

You have 2.5 pounds of egg whites. You need 36 Oz to make one serving of Consomme. How many servings can you make?

Answer 1

1 serving

Step-by-step explanation

You have 2.5 pounds of egg whites and you need 36 Oz to make one serving of Consomme.

To find the number of servings that can be made, you need to divide the total weight of egg whites by the weight needed to make one serving.

But before doing that, you need to convert one of the weights so that they have the same unit. Let us convert pounds(lbs) to ounces(Oz).

We have that:

1 pound = 16 ounces

=> 2.5 pounds = 2.5 * 16

2.5 pounds = 40 ounces

Now, divide:

`(40)/(36)=1.11\text{ }`

As we can see, 40 ounces can only make 1 serving of Consomme.
