Question

Derek bought 4 pounds of tomatoes at the grocery store. This included grape roma, and plum tomatoes. If Derek bought 2 pounds of grape tomatoes and 14 ounces of roma tomatoes, how many ounces of plum tomatoes did he buy?

Answer 1

18 ounces

Explanation:

4 pounds is 64 ounces. 2 pounds is 32 ounces.

1. First, you subtract the 32 ounces of grape tomatoes from 64. That leaves you with 32.
2. Next, subtract 14 ounces of roma tomatoes from 32. You get 18.
3. That means he bought 18 ounces of plum tomatoes.

`64-32-14= 18`
