Answer 1

To solve the problem, we'll work through each part step by step.

Part A A pound is a larger unit than an ounce, so we multiply the number of pounds by 16 to find the number of ounces. Therefore, 2 pounds is equal to 32 ounces. (Since 2 pounds × 16 ounces/pound = 32 ounces)

Part B Now we need to determine if 32 ounces is enough coffee for a week, given that her mother uses 4 ounces per day.

In one week (7 days), her mother would use: 4 ounces/day × 7 days = 28 ounces

Since 32 ounces (the amount Renee bought) is greater than 28 ounces (the amount her mother will use in a week), the answer is:

• yes, Renee bought her mother enough coffee for the week.
