Answer 1

No she does no have enough

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes she has enough walnuts for her two recipes

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of walnuts that Marni has = 11 ounces

She has two recipe

First recipe = 6 ounces

Second recipe = 1/4 pounds

Hence,

To find out if she has enough:.we add up the number of ounces from both recipes

The second recipe is in pounds hence, we convert to ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces

1/4 pound =

Cross Multiply

= 1/4 pounds × 16 ounces/1 pound

= 4 ounces

Hence, we can add up now

First recipe + Second recipe

= 6 ounces + 4 ounces

= 10 ounces.

Since both recipes would require a total of 10 ounces of walnuts and Marin has 11 ounces, we can conclude that Marin has enough ounces of walnuts for her two recipes.
