Question

you buy tomatoes in 25 lb cases one batch of Cobb salad requires 5 oz of tomatoes how many portion can be made with one shipment

Answer 1

ANSWER:

80 portion

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

What we must do in this case is to convert the number of pounds to ounces, knowing that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

$25\text{ lb}\cdot\frac{16\text{ oz}}{1\text{ lb}}=400\text{ oz}$

Now to calculate the number of portion, we must calculate the quotient between the total in ounces tomatoes and the amount per portion:

$\frac{400}{5}=80$
