Dr. Gomez, a veterinarian, noticed that she only had about 12 ounces of cat treats left. So, she bought a new 3-pound jar. If she uses about 6 ounces of cat treats every week, in how many weeks will she run out?

Answer 1

Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, then the 3-pound jar of cat treats is equal to 3 x 16 = <<3*16=48>>48 ounces.
Dr. Gomez has a total of 48 + 12 = <<48+12=60>>60 ounces of cat treats.
Therefore, she can use the cat treats for 60/6 = <<60/6=10>>10 weeks. Answer: \boxed{10}.
