Question

At a cost of $4 per pound, how many ounces of rolled oats can be bought for $1.20?

Answer 1

4.8 ounces of rolled oats can be bought for $1.20

The cost per pound is given as:

$Rate= \ 4/lb$

The ounces of oats to buy for $1.20 is then calculated as:

$Oats = \frac{Cost}{Rate}$

So, we have:

$Oats = \frac{\ 1.20}{\ 4 / lb}$

Evaluate the quotient

$Oats = 0.3\ lb$

Convert pounds to ounces (multiply by 16)

$Oats = 0.3 * 16 oz$

$Oats = 4.8 oz$

Hence, 4.8 ounces of rolled oats can be bought for $1.20
