Question

At a cost of $8 per pound how many ounces of almonds can be bought for $2.05

Answer 1

4.1 Ounces can be bought

Explanation:

1 Pound = 16 Ounces

16Oz. = $8

Divide both by the common factor of Eight (8)

16/8 = 2 Oz.

8/8 = $1

2 Oz = $1

1 Oz. = .50

2.05/.50 = 4.1

If each ounce cost .50 cents 4.1x.50 should equals $2.05

and .50x16 should be 8
