Mr.Mclain has 4 3/5 pounds of flour in a container. He also has a box with 1.5 pound of flour in it. If he pours one-fourth of the flour from the box into the container, how many ounces of flour will be left in the box?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 lbs = 16 oz
1.5 lbs = 1.5*16 oz
1.5 lbs = 24 oz
24 - (1/4)24 = 24 - 6 = 18 oz
there will be 18 ounces of flour left in the box.
