statement is false
you will need at least 5.5 lbs of rice to make 88 oz

Answer 2

it will not have enough rice.

Explanation:

The weight of one bag of rice = 5.25 pounds

a recipe calls for 88 ounces of rice.

First we have to calculate 5.25 pounds to ounces.

As given one pound = 16 ounces

Therefore, 5 pounds = 16 × 5 = 80 ounces

the recipe calls for 88 ounces but the bag contains 80 ounces of rice.

Hence, the bag of rice will not have enough rice for the recipe.
