Question

Luke bought 256 ounces of strawberries. he divided them evenly between 8 different pies.

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.

`256`
`ounces=(256)/(16)`
`pounds=16`
`pounds`

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

`Pounds`
`of`
`strawberries`
`on`
`each`
`pie=(16)/(8)`

`Pounds`
`of`
`strawberries`
`on`
`each`
`pie=2`

Therefore, Luke put 2 pounds strawberries on each pie.
