Question

The Kitten Korner animal shelter buys cat food in 64-can crates. Each can holds 6 ounces of cat food. If the animal shelter orders 2 crates of cat food at a time, how many pounds of cat food are in each order?

Answer 1

Answer: 48 pounds in each order

64 cans (each 6 ounces) is 384 ounces per crate

Since they ordered 2 crates, its 768 ounces

Now you have to convert this into pounds

There are 16 ounces in a pound, so divide 768 by 16 to get 48 ounces in each order
