Philip is making snack mix to take on his family's upcoming road trip. He mixes 2 pounds each of pretzels, peanuts, and cheese crackers. Then, he splits the mix evenly among 12 bags. How many ounces of snack mix does Philip put in each bag? SHOW YOUR WORK OR BAD REVIEW

Answer:

Alrighty :)

Explanation:

2 lbs = 32 oz

32 oz x 3 bags = 96 oz

96 oz ÷ 12 bags = 8 oz/bags

He split the mix evenly into 12 bags with each being 8 oz/bag.

I hope this helps :)
