Question

Harry bought 3lbs of Watermelon. He ate 36 ounces for lunch. How Much does he have left? (Hint 1lbs =16 oz)

Answer 1

3lbs•16ozs=48ozs 48ozs-36ozs=12ozs Harry has 12 ounces of watermelon left.

Answer 2

So we fist need to convert 3lbs to oz. We can do this by multiplying 3 by 16.

He bought 48 oz of watermelon. Since he ate 36 ounces we just subtract that from the total amount.

48 - 36 = 12

He has 12 ounces left.
