A 1/4 cup serving of carrots slices is given to each of 180 children. If a box of carrots slices weighs 2 1/2 pounds, how many boxes will be used?

Answer 1

We have

(1/4)*180 = 45 cups

Use the conversion factors to calculate pounds

1 cup = 8 oz

1 pound = 16 oz

I got 22.5 pounds

Next divide the pounds you get by 2 1/2 or 2.5

I got 9 boxes
