Answer:

1200

Explanation:

Step 1 convert pounds to ounces

1 pound = 16 ounces

So to convert pounds to ounces we multiply by 16

1500 * 16 = 24000

So there are 24000 ounces in 1500 pounds

Step 2 Find how many 20 ounce containers he can fill.

To find out how many 20 ounce containers he can fill we divide the total amount of ounces of butter that he has by 20

So answer = 24000/20

24000 / 20 = 1200

Therefore he can fill 1200 20 - ounce containers
