Question

Mrs. Barnes bought 12 pounds 8 ounces of flour. If she uses 4 ounces of flour for each batch of sugar cookies, how many batches of sugar cookies can she make?

Answer 1

50

Explanation:

there are 16 ounces in a pound.

at 4 ounces per batch, she can make 4 batches per pound (16/4=4)

so, at 4 batches per full pound, she can make 48 batches (12×4=48)

she can make 2 more batches with the remaining 8 ounces (8/4=2)

so, 48+2= 50 batches

Answer 2

Answer: 50 Batches

Explanation:

16 ounces in a pound

12 pounds times 16 ounces is 192 ounces

192 ounces plus the extra 8 is 200 ounces of flour

200 divided by 4 ounces per batch

200/4= 50
