Answer 1

To answer the question, we need to complete the statements in Part A and then determine if Renee bought enough coffee for a week in Part B.

Part A

A pound is a larger unit than an ounce, so multiply the number of pounds by 16 to find the number of ounces. Therefore, 2 pounds is equal to 32 ounces.

Part B

Now, let's see if 32 ounces is enough for a week. Since her mother uses 4 ounces per day, we can calculate the total amount used in a week (7 days):

4 ounces/day × 7 days = 28 ounces.

Since 32 ounces (the amount of coffee Renee bought) is greater than 28 ounces (the amount her mother needs for a week), Renee did buy her mother enough coffee for the week.

Final Answer

Part A: 32 ounces
Part B: yes
