Renee bought her mother 2 pounds of ground coffee. Her mother uses 4 ounces per day to brew coffee. Did Renee buy her mother enough coffee for a week?

Question

Begin by converting 2 pounds to ounces. Choose the words and numbers to complete the statements.
Part A

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

Answer 1

To complete 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.

Now to determine if 32 ounces is enough coffee for a week:

Renee's mother uses 4 ounces of coffee per day. For a week (7 days), she would use:

4 ounces/day × 7 days = 28 ounces.

Since Renee bought her mother 32 ounces of coffee, and her mother only needs 28 ounces for the week, Renee indeed bought enough coffee for her mother for the week.
