Question

Carole needs 4pounds of nuts for her granola. She has 26ounces of walnuts and 28ounces of cashews. How many ounces of peanuts should she buy so she has 4pounds of nuts?

Answer 1

10 oz

Explanation:

there are 16 oz in a pound. 4 * 16 = 64 so she needs 64 oz in all. she has 26 oz of walnuts and 28 oz of cashews. add these together and subtract it from 64 to find how many oz of peanuts she needs.

26 + 28 = 54

64 - 54 = 10

she needs 10 oz of peanuts
