Question

If a basket of Berry’s weighs 12oz and you need 4 pounds to make jam how many baskets do you need?

Answer 1

To make jam total 5.33 baskets are needed.

Explanation:

The weight of one full basket = 12 oz

Also, the amount of total weight required to make jam = 4 pounds

Here, 1 pound = 16 ounces

⇒ 4 pounds = 4 x ( 16 oz) = 64 ounces

So, the the amount of total weight required to make jam = 64 ounces.

Now,
`\textrm{The number of baskets needed}  = \frac{\textrm{Total weight needed}}{\textrm{ Weight in each basket }}  = (64)/(12)  =  5.33`

⇒The number of baskets needed = 5.33

Hence, to make jam total 5.33 baskets are needed.
