1. The information given in the problem says that there are 480 jellybeans in an 8-ounce jar. To find the amount of jellybeans per pounce in the jar, you only have to divide 480 jellybeans by 8 ounces. This is shown below:
x: amount of jellybeans per pounce
x=480 jellybeans/8 ounces
2. Then, the result is:
x=60
How many jellybeans are there per ounce in the jar?
The answer is: There are 60 jellybeans per ounce.
