Question

If Grade 5 students gain an average of 2.5 lbs after eating a meal, then how much

weight in ounces do Grade 5 students gain after having three meals? That is if they
have not lost any weight.

Answer 1

Weight gained per meal = 2.5 lbs

Weight gained after 3 meals = 2.5 lbs × 3 = 7.5 lbs

lbs to ounces = 1 lbs = 16 ounces

So,

7 .5 lbs = 16×7.5 ounces = 120 ounces
