Question

Mr. Ross bought 8 pounds 8 ounces of flour. If he uses 8 ounces of flour for each batch of sugar cookies, how many batches of sugar cookies can he make

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are 16 ounces in one pound.

So the total number of ounces that Mr. Ross bought = 16(8) + 8 = 136 oz

If 1 batch = 8 oz then to find the max amount of batch of cookies, divide 136 by 8

136/8= 17 batches of cookies
