Ms. Buckley is packing orders for her soap business. One customer ordered 12 bars of her Orange You Fresh soap. If each bar of soap weighs 4 ounces, how many pounds will this order weigh?

Answer 1

1 pound = 16 ounces

Each bar = 4 ounces, since there are 12 bars, 12 x 4= 48 ounces

48/16 = 3

the answer is 3 pounds

Answer 2

12 bars x 4 ounces per bar = 48 ounces

48 ounces x 1 pound/16 ounces = 3 pounds
