Question

9. Roger is sending his friend a present

for his birthday. At the store, a package
under 3 pounds ships for $5. How
many ounces are there in 3 pounds? If
Roger's present is 41 ounces, can he
ship it for $5?

Answer 1

Answers in order: 48 ounces, Yes

Explanation:

The way I can tell this is 48 is that a pound is 16 ounces.

Multiply 16 by 3 (the number of pounds) to get 48 ounces.

For the second question make an inequality.

48 > 41

If the inequality is true then the answer is yes. If the inequality is false then the answer is false.
