Question 2 (True/False Worth 3 points)


(02.06)One bag of rice that weighs 4.5 pounds will have enough rice if a recipe calls for 60 ounces of rice. (1 pound = 16 ounces)

True

False

Answer 1

well, we know there are 16oz to 1lb
so how many lbs in 60oz?
\(\begin{array}{ccllll}
lbs&oz
\\\hline\\
1&16\\
x&60
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{16}{60}\)

solve for "x" :)

Answer 2

if there are 4.5 or more, then yes, there's enough rice for the recipe :)
