Answer 1

Hello, Ariana,

If 8 coins weigh 32 ounces, and we assume they are the same coin, we can say that each coin is 4 ounces, or 4 oz./coin.

Coins in 88 ounces can be computed by dividing the total by the 4 oz./coin factor.

88 ounces/(4 oz./coin) = 22 coins

Answer 2

a) 22

88/32 = 2.75

2.75 x 8 = 22
