Answer:

James will need to buy 3 boxes of crackers for the party.

Explanation:

remember: 16oz=1 pound

If James needs 3 pounds of crackers, and each box is 20oz, that means each box is a little over 1 pound. (1.25 pounds to be exact). So, we know that he needs to buy 3 boxes of crackers. This is because 20×3=60 ounces which is 3.75 pounds. Meaning, 3 boxes is the correct answer since we can't cut a box in half.
