Problem 2
Kate is baking cookies using a recipe she found online. Several of the measurements are given
in grams, but she needs them in ounces instead. The recipe notes that 8 ounces is 226.8
grams.
Kate uses this information to determine an equation that will convert between the two units of
measurement. However, she is unsure what the equation should be. She comes up with two
equations: 28,35g or g 28.352, where z is the number of ounces and g is the number of
grams.
a. Which equation correctly converts between ounces and grams? Explain your reasoning,
b. What is the unit rate and what does it represent in this context?
c Sketch a graph of the relationship between ounces and grams.
