Question

Naomi requires 2.75 pounds of cream cheese for a cake. She has 4 ounces of cream cheese. Cream cheese is available in the store in blocks. Each block is 8 ounces. What is the minimum number of blocks of cream cheese Naomi has to buy? (1 point) 3 4 5 6

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

1 pound = 16 ounces

total ounces needed = 2.75 x 16 = 44 pounds

Ounces of cake she needs = 44 - 4 = 40

Minimum blocks needed = ounces needed / ounces of each block

40 / 8 = 5
