How many calories are there in 48 ounces?

Answer 1

First, let's find out how many ounces there are in three pounds. Since 1 pound equals 16 ounces, we can calculate it like this:

3 pounds = 3 × 16 ounces = 48 ounces.

Now that we know we are working with 48 ounces, we need to determine how many calories are in that amount of ice cream.

From the problem, we know that there are 544 calories in 8 ounces. To find the calories per ounce, we can divide:

Calories per ounce = 544 calories / 8 ounces = 68 calories per ounce.

Next, to find the total calories in 48 ounces, we multiply the calories per ounce by the number of ounces:

Total calories in 48 ounces = 68 calories/ounce × 48 ounces = 3264 calories.

Therefore, there are 3264 calories in 48 ounces of the ice cream.
