Question

Luke bought 256256256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 888 different pies. How many pounds of strawberries did Luke put into each pie?

Answer 1

2 pounds.

Explanation:

We have been given that Luke bought 256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 8 different pies. We are asked to find the pounds of strawberries that Luke put on each pie.

First of all, we will convert 256 ounces into pounds.

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To convert 256 ounces into pounds, we need to divide 256 by 16.

`\text{256 ounces}=(256)/(16)\text{ pounds}=16\text{ pounds}`

Now we will divide 16 pounds by 8 to find number of strawberries put on each pie.

`\text{Pounds of strawberries on each pie}=(16)/(8)`

`\text{Pounds of strawberries on each pie}=2`

Therefore, Luke put 2 pounds strawberries on each pie.
