Question

Marni has 11 ounces of walnuts. She needs 6 ounces for one recipe and \frac {1}{4} 4 1 ​ pound for another. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. Does she have enough? 1. To answer this question, you first need to convert all measurements to the same units. Since two of the measurements are in ounces and only one is in pounds, convert \mathbf{\frac {1}{4}} 4 1 ​ pound to ounces. Show your work.

Answer 1

Yes she has enough walnuts for her two recipes

Explanation:

Total number of walnuts that Marni has = 11 ounces

She has two receipe

First recipe = 6 ounces

Second recipe = 1/4 pounds

Hence,

To find out if she has enough:.we add up the number of ounces from both recipes

The second recipe is in pounds hence, we convert to ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces

1/4 pound =

Cross Multiply

= 1/4 pounds × 16 ounces/1 pound

= 4 ounces

Hence, we can add up now

First recipe + Second recipe

= 6 ounces + 4 ounces

= 10 ounces.

Since both recipes would require a total of 10 ounces of walnuts and Marin has 11 ounces, we can conclude that Marin has enough ounces of walnuts for her two recipes.
