Question

Zachary volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. One Saturday, Zachary unloaded 38 bags of dog food. Each bag weighed 25 pounds. How many ounces of dog food did Zachary unload?

400 oz

11,400 oz

950 oz

15,200 oz​

Answer 1

first, you need to know how many ounces are in 1 pound (which is 16). this means that if each bag of dog food weighed 25 pounds, then they also way 400 ounces (due to 25 multiplying by 16). now you just multiply the amount of bags (38) by 400 (which is 15,200)
