Question

Luke bought 256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 8 different pies. How many pounds of strawberries did Luke put into each pie?

Answer 1

2 pounds

Explanation:

We know that there are 16 ounces in a pound, and 256/16 is 16. If he divides all of the pounds into 8 pies, we would divide 16 by 8, getting us our 2 pounds.

Answer 2

256 / 8 = 32 ounces

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

32 ounces = 2 pounds
