Question

Andrea picked 21 pounds of peaches in her orchard. She divided the peaches evenly between 4 large baskets.

How many ounces of peaches did Andrea put in each basket?

Answer 1

1. 1 pound = 16 ounces

2. 21 pounds * 16 ounces = 336 ounces

3. 336 ounces ÷ 4 baskets = 84 ounces per basket

OR

1. 1 pound = 16 ounces

2. 21 pounds ÷ 4 baskets = 5.25 pounds per basket

3. 5.25 pounds * 16 oz = 84 ounces per basket

Hope this helps!!
