Question

Sydney bought a 4-pound bag of brown rice at the grocery store. The nutritional information showed that the bag contained 37 servings. If there are 16 ounces in one pound, exactly how many ounces are there in one serving of brown rice?

Answer 1

Do you have more data?

Answer 2

the problem is asking for the oz per serving

so we need to divide (total # of oz) / (total # of servings)

to find total # of oz, we use the conversion factor 1 lb = 16 oz. multiply the # of lbs, by 16 oz, to get the total # of oz

from there, divide by the total # of servings
