To determine if Savannah has enough chocolate chips, we first need to convert the quantity she needs (2 lbs 8 oz) into ounces.
1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz). Therefore:
- 2 lbs = 2 × 16 oz = 32 oz
- Adding the additional 8 oz: 32 oz + 8 oz = 40 oz
Thus, Savannah needs a total of 40 ounces of chocolate chips for her recipe.
Now, we compare this amount to the weight of the chocolate chip bag:
The chocolate chip bag weighs 64 ounces.
Since 64 ounces (amount in the bag) is greater than 40 ounces (amount needed), Savannah has enough chocolate chips for her recipe. In fact, she has more than enough, as she has 24 ounces left over (64 oz - 40 oz = 24 oz).
