Question

A box holds 25 pounds of cans. Each can weighs 8 ounces. How many cans does each box hold?
A- 50 cans
B- 52 cans
C- 60 cans
D- 62 cans

Answer 1

1 pound = 16 ounces.

1 can weighs 8 ounces, so 2 cans weigh 8 +8 = 16 ounces, which is 1 pound.

Multiply total pounds by number of cans per pound:

25 pounds x 2 cans per pound = 50 total cans.

Answer 2

The number of cans each box hold will be 50.

How to convert ounces to pounds?

In one pound there is a total of sixteen ounces.

So it means 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Given that the weight of the can is 8 ounces it means in 2 cans there are 16 ounces which are 1 pound.

2 cans = 1 pound

Since, the box can hold only 25 pounds Hence,

25 × 2 = 50 cans so a box can hold up to 50 cans.
