Melissa buys a 10-pound box of apples. The box has 32 apples that are all identical. What is the weight of each apple in ounces?

Answer 1

There are 16 ounces in a pound. So a 10 pound box wound be 10 X 16 ounces or 160 ounces of apples. There are 32 identical apples. if we divide 160 ounces by 32 apples we will get the ounces per each apple. Each apple is 160 ÷ 32 ounces. Go ahead and solve.
