16 ounces of potatoes-- 1 pound
1.5 pounds of onions--- 1.5 pounds
4 ounces of celery----- 0.25 pounds
1 pound of tomatoes---- 1 pound
4 ounces of garlic----- 0.25

Now, add 1, 1.5, 0.25, 1, and 0.25 all together. What do you get?

1 + 1.5 + 0.25 + 1 + 0.25 = ?

Answered by Ms. Sue
No.
Potatoes = 16 ounces
How many ounces did the onions weigh?

Your problem asks how many pounds were in the second bag.




Answered by Brady
Your answers are incorrect.

First off, remember what Ms. Sue said above for the first answer post.

"16 ounces = 1 pound

4 ounces = 0.25 pounds"

First question:

potatoes-----16 ounces - leave as is
onions-------1.5 pounds-must convert into ounces-this is where you made a mistake.

1.5 pounds = ? ounces

16 + ? = ? ounces.

The first bag weighs ? ounces.

Second question:

celery-------4 ounces - convert into pounds
tomatoes-----1 pound
garlic-------4 ounces - convert into pounds

4 ounces = ? pounds
1 pound = 1 pound
4 ounces = ? pounds

1 + ? + ? = ?

For the first question, you MUST CONVERT POUNDS INTO OUNCES.

For the second question, you MUST CONVERT OUNCES INTO POUNDS.

the onions weigh 1.5 pounds which is = TO 24 0z so the total will be 40 ounce
Answered by Brady
Correct! 40 ounces is the answer to the first question.
Answered by Ms. Sue
That's right for the first bag.
Answered by pinks
and the 2nd bag I got 1.50 ounce
Answered by Ms. Sue
The second bag is supposed to be measured in pounds.
Answered by Brady
It is correct, but instead putting the word "ounce" after 1.50, put the word "pounds" after 1.50 instead. That would be the correct way of writing it. Other than that, you are correct!
