Question

Karen wants to buy 5 pounds of baby carrots. The packages of carrots each weigh14 ounces. How many will she need to buy to reach 5 pounds

Answer 1

6 packages

Explanation:

First, let's list an important conversion. 1 pound = 16 ounces.

For the sake of this explanation, and because I think this is mathematically easier to deal with, we are going to be dealing in ounces.

So, step one, convert 5 pounds to ounces. For this, we just multiply 5 by 16 to get 80.

Now, we know each package of carrots weighs 14 ounces each. Since we need to see how many times 14 goes into 80 (remember, 80 is the same as 5 pounds), we use division.

80/14 = 5

But, hey! You can/t buy 5/7ths of a package. So we need to buy an ENTIRE EXTRA PACKAGE just to make up for it.

So we round our number up to 6.
