@bibby I'm sorry last one for the day

mathmale · Answer

So, you start with vegetables that all together weigh $$4\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }lb.$$

mathmale · Answer

Write the appropriate conversion factor (pounds to ounces).

Multiply your $$4\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }lb$$

mathmale · Answer

by that conversion factor.  You'll know you're on the right track if "lb" disappears and "oz" shows up in its place.

Wait @bibby sorry to bother you but can you help me with part B

bibby · Answer

find the amount of gallons in 25 seconds by multiplying: $\dfrac{0.16gal}{1\cancel{sec}}*25 \cancel{sec}$

Then convert that much gallons into pints
