Mrs. Barnes bought 4 pounds 8 ounces of flour. If she uses 4 ounces of flour for each batch of sugar cookies, how many batches of sugar cookies can she make?

Question

I'm dying at this

Answer 1

4 lbs 8 oz = 4.5 lbs = 4.5 times 16 oz per lb = 72 oz.

 

72 ounces divided by 4 = 18.

 

Eighteen batches of sugar cookies can be made, assuming that there is enough of all the other ingredients.
