Question
Harry uses 4 ounces of cheese in each pizza he makes. The amount of cheese Harry needs to make 18 pizzas is ____.
- 2.5
- 5
4.5
- 4.5
5
- 2
Hint:
Convert ounces to pounds
1 ounce=1/16 pound
The correct answer is: 4.5
5
1 pizza = 4 ounces of cheese
18 pizzas = 18 × 4 ounces of cheese = 72
Now, convert 72 ounces into pounds.
72 ounces = (
) pounds = 4.5 pounds
Since 18 pizzas will require more cheese, we are multiplying 4 with 18.
