Scarlett is throwing a end of the year party for 2013

all her 3rd grade friends. She has decided to

make: ham & cheese sliders, pasta salad,

cookies & mermaid punch. Help her find out

how much of something she has to go buy.

If Scarlett needed to make 60 ham sliders for

her friends and each slider has 2 oz of ham on

it, how many pounds of ham does Scarlett

need to go buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 7.5 ponds because if each slider has 2 oz. then we can find the total number of oz. needed by multiplying by 60. This gets 120 oz that Scarlett needs in total. Since there are 16oz in a pound we divide 120 by 16 to find the number of pounds needed.
