Question

you buy tomatoes in 25 lb cases one batch of Cobb salad requires 5 oz of tomatoes how many portion can be made with one shipment

Answer 1

80 portion

Explanation:

What we must do in this case is to convert the number of pounds to ounces, knowing that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

`25\text{ lb}\cdot\frac{16\text{ oz}}{1\text{ lb}}=400\text{ oz}`

Now to calculate the number of portion, we must calculate the quotient between the total in ounces tomatoes and the amount per portion:

`(400)/(5)=80`
